Termes

Termes are small, social insects similar to ants, belonging to the order Isoptera. They live in colonies and are important for ecosystems because they help break down wood and plant material, recycling nutrients into the soil. Termes work together in organized communities, with different roles like workers, soldiers, and reproductive individuals. Some species are considered pests because they can damage wood structures or furniture, but they also play a valuable role in natural environments by maintaining healthy soil and facilitating decomposition.
