Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Parenchyma cells’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pericycle is made up of thin walled parenchyma cells in the young root but later it becomes thick walled in many monocots. It is the layer or seat of origin of lateral roots and cork cambium.
Detailed explanation-3: -Parenchyma cells are capable of cell division, even after they have differentiated into the mature form. They can therefore give rise to adventitious buds and roots at some distance from the apical meristem at the tips of shoots and roots.
