Which type of termite is primarily responsible for working to gather food?

  1. Soldier

  2. Queen

  3. Worker

  4. Drone

The correct answer is: Worker

The worker termite is primarily responsible for gathering food. These termites are the most numerous in a colony and have a vital role in foraging for cellulose-based materials, such as wood and plant matter, which serve as their primary food source. They also have the task of feeding the queen, soldiers, and nymphs within the colony. Without the diligent work of the worker termites, the colony would not be able to sustain itself, as the soldier termites are primarily focused on protecting the colony from threats, and the queen's role is to reproduce. Drones, which are male termites, primarily exist for reproduction purposes and do not contribute to food gathering. Understanding the specific roles within the termite colony is crucial for effective management and control of termite populations.
