What is termite mode of feeding?

Termites primarily feed on cellulose, which is found in wood, leaves, and other plant materials. They possess symbiotic microorganisms in their guts, such as bacteria and protozoa, that help break down cellulose into digestible sugars. This unique feeding mechanism allows termites to thrive on materials that many other organisms cannot digest. Additionally, their feeding behavior plays a significant role in nutrient recycling within ecosystems.
