Resumo	Crop growth models are mechanistic simulation systems designed to predict crop development, biomass accumulation, and yield under varying environmental and management conditions. DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) and APSIM (Agricultural Production Systems Simulator) are the most widely used platforms, developed in the 1990s-2000s to support agronomic decision-making and climate adaptation research.	Root Architecture Analysis is a quantitative method in agronomy and plant science that characterises the spatial configuration, branching pattern, and geometric properties of a plant's root system. By measuring parameters such as total root length, lateral root density, root angle, and root tip number, researchers link below-ground structural traits to nutrient and water acquisition efficiency, soil penetration capacity, and ultimately to crop productivity and stress tolerance.
