True or False: The term 'nymph' is unique to termites when discussing WDO.

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: False

The term 'nymph' refers to the juvenile life stage of certain insects, including termites, but it is not unique to termites alone. In the context of wood-destroying organisms, the nymph stage can also apply to other insect types, particularly hemipterans (like certain types of beetles and aphids) and even some species of cockroaches. In termites, nymphs are important because they undergo a developmental process known as hemimetabolism—meaning they gradually develop into adults through a series of nymphal stages without a distinct larval form. However, because the term is applicable to various insects, it emphasizes the biological concept of development shared among multiple organisms rather than being exclusive to termites. This broader application of the term solidifies that the statement is false.
