Termites are a kind of eusocial, detritophagous insects that eat a broad range of decomposing plant matter, mostly in the form of wood, leaf litter, and soil humus.
They are called "white ants" because of their moniliform antennae and the soft-bodied, usually unpigmented worker caste they belong to; nevertheless, they are not ants, which they are distantly related to.
There are currently 2,972 species that are known to exist, 2,105 of which belong to the Termitidae family.
