Because he threw some Hashi DNA up in it, idk
But it's not really a lie because they DO have his cells....we've clearly seen enough proof of that
he didnt lie, the analysis done by shizune clearly says the zetsus have identical dna to hashirama

1. Zetsu was created before Hashi was alive.
yes, when IT was casted the first time, however there can be two methods for creating something
I would guess that hashirama's body and the shinju tree have identical properties and thats why they both give identical results
Isnt infintie tsukuyomi derived from possessing both senju and uchiha power? Not really a lie. He summoned the Gedo Mazo which was supposed to be the moon. Makes sense why he was able to do it. The gedo created the zetsu.
You already have the answer in the manga. He was under the influence of Kaguya. Kaguya shouldn't be brought up as she was pretty inconsequential back in that time and stage. Or there's another option; Essentially, there's a short background story about how Madara was introduced to Kaguya, and she elaborated about the Zetsu, and how it functions/works. She taught him how to create them, and that was the limit. She had no body, she could only be inside of Madara. She introduced herself to him, either way. ]
Maybe he was going through the whole process of Obito's. Being saved by Kaguya during his battle with Hasirama. Being brought to her place, but she was dying and someone had to continue with her plans. Maybe zetsu was the only thing keeping her alive. Who knows.
