Termite refers to a type of social insect belonging to the order Blattodea, which also includes cockroaches. Termites are primarily known for their role in breaking down cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in wood, plants, and other organic matter. They are often found in colonies and can vary in size, with some colonies containing millions of individuals. Termites play a significant ecological role by recycling nutrients and contributing to soil health.
