Soil compaction impedes root growth, reduces crop yields, and threatens global food security sustainable agriculture. Addressing this challenge requires a comprehensive understanding of root-soil interactions in compacted environments. This review examines key traits-architectural, anatomical, biochemical, biomechanical-that enhance plant resilience soils. We discuss how these traits influence penetration the formation more favorable soil pore structures, which are crucial for alleviating stress. Additionally, we explore molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation, identifying genetic biochemical factors that contribute to stress-tolerant phenotypes. The emphasizes role root-microbe boosting adaptability under compaction. By integrating insights, propose framework breeding crops with resilient systems thrive high strength, supporting agricultural practices essential amidst environmental challenges.
