Definitely ask your PI for a letter.

I worked in a plant bio lab, which had nothing to do with want I wanted to go to graduate school for, but that was still probably my strongest rec letter (and it didn’t interfere with me getting into grad school). It’d be silly not to ask for a letter from him just because he’s not in your particular field, especially if he’d write a stellar letter and can speak to your research skills, academic prowess, and your readiness for a graduate program.
