There's no fees for using R in publications, but most people will include citations for the R language and any R packages used. You can use function citation() (it might be called citations(), I'm not entirely sure) to generate said citations.

Please remember that many outputs generated using R are also using contributed packages. Please cite any such packages that you used along with the citation for R itself.

Please excuse my brevity.
My understanding is that the only requirement is to give proper credit. This is
necessary anyway as readers would need to know what packages were used and what
version of R was used. In R there is the citation() function that returns the
approved citation. However, it might be useful to also include the version
numbers in the text.
One problem is how the citation is viewed in the body of the document. I use
Endnote and I think Endnote would view this as a name. So in the text I would
see (Team 2022) and the bibliography might be Team, R.C. 2022. R: A language ...
I think that this is solved by putting a comma after Team in the bibliographic
entry. Another option would be to use R_Core_Team.
If this is a well-funded project, you might consider a donation. I am sure that
R would appreciate any donation you would care to give in support of their work:
https://www.r-project.org/foundation/donors.html. They accept annual donations
or one-off donations.

Dear colleagues!
We plan to introduce the software R in chapter "subject-specific software
in mathematics" in our book "TEACHING/LEARNING MEDIUM COMPUTER".
As we will use screenshots and Plots generated by R we ask if there will be any
fees for using this elements in our book.
