Worker termites are the most numerous and vital members of the colony.
Key Features
- Tasks: They build tunnels, gather food, care for the queen and young, and maintain the nest.
- Mandibles: Smaller but strong jaws to chew wood and soil.
- Communication: Use pheromones to coordinate tasks and alert the colony.
Role in the Colony
Workers are the colony’s lifeline, providing nutrition and shelter. Without them, the colony couldn’t survive or grow.
