Some termite species cultivate fungus gardens inside their nests.
Key Features
- Fungus Gardens: Termites feed wood to special fungus which breaks it down.
- Mutualism: The fungus provides termites with nutrients termites can’t digest on their own.
- Nest Hygiene: Termites carefully tend their fungus, removing contaminants.
Importance
This symbiotic relationship allows termites to digest tough plant material efficiently.
