Termites, like all insects, need air. Yes, they will die if submerged in water for a period of time. Their eggs will not necessarily be killed. they need to be submerged for a long time (possibly several hours), better add some soap- that will kill them for sure

How termites digest wood?
It seems that there are many different species even among termites. Where as some do not eat much wood at all, others seem to have a feast on wood. A program I saw on National Geographic said that they grew their own mushroms in their houses, and that was their primary diet. It varies how efficient their digesting-system works on cellulose. Some are in fact dependent on bacterial parasites in order to get energy out of cellulose. Various species prefer leafs and half rotten wood. Other species again prefer the fresh stuff. I do not think it matter much whether your garden furniture is softwood or hardwood regarding the right species of termites. I am however sure the hardwood would last slightly longer.

What happens when you start a fire with a moist wood?
Trying to start a fire with damp wood is very difficult. When I backpack I always carry some tinder (dry shavings) to start a fire. Wet wood will not burn unless the fire is hot enough to evaporate the water that is in the wood. You can burn damp wood on an already burning fire but it will not burn as hot. Wet wood tends to smoke a lot and may go out on a small fire that does not have a good coal base. I have had to use damp wood to start a fire before but I had to shave down the wood until I found dry wood inside. Once you get a small fire started gradually add wood until you can get a hot fire. Too much wet wood at once can put out a fire. Not a good thing when you are cold and wet. Be patient.
