A lateral root originates in the pericycle cells.

Pericycle cells :

The pericycle is the outermost part of the plant's stele and is a cylinder of parenchyma or sclerenchyma cells that lies just inside the endodermis.

What is a pericycle?

The pericycle is a layer of plant tissue beneath the endodermis: that surrounds the conducting tissue in roots and certain stems and it is the site for the initiation oflateral roots, as well as two secondary meristems, the vascular cambium and the cork cambium (phellogen).

The pericycle is the outermost layer of the vascular cylinder, composed of nonvascular parenchyma and it supports the root, protects its vascular bundles, stores nutrients, and facilitates root growth. Both monocots and dicots have the ability for pericycle cells to proliferate and produce lateral roots.
