Superorganism

A superorganism refers to a group of individuals that function as a single entity, often seen in social insects like ants, bees, or termites. In a superorganism, the members work together in a highly organized way to support the colony's survival, much like the organs of a body work together for the wellbeing of an organism. Each member has specific roles, such as foraging, defending, or caring for the young, contributing to the overall health and success of the group. The concept illustrates how complex interactions can create a collective intelligence that transcends individual capabilities.
