A queen ant is an adult, mated female ant in an ant colony; generally the mother of all the other ants in that colony.
The ant needs the soil or dirt as a living space so that it cant protect and breed in its colony. However the soil or dirt is not actually in its diet. The ant will get its nutrients from whatever sugar it consumes.
The colony cannot function without the queen. This is the basis of ant bait pest control.
The colony, known colloquially as the "Ant Hill"
An ant nest or a colony have a queen because the queen is the only ant in the whole colony that is able to lay eggs.
The decomposers of the ant colony are the ants that eat the dead. Ants that die in the colony are fed to the decomposers and the queen ant. Ants are naturally decomposers because they feed off dead things.
