Are termites ants

No...................... termites are not Ants because termites do not have big/small munchers at ether side of the mouth and ants are not termites because ants do not chew on wood.

But they are both pests and a "white ant" is also known as a termite.

as you this is all true (not like some that put in jibajaba)

Termites are related closer to cockroaches then they are ants, Yes people do call them white Ants but in fact are not Ants or related to ants at all.
