Termites belong to the order Blattodea, which also includes cockroaches. Within this order, termites are classified in the infraorder Isoptera, although some modern classifications group them under the suborder Blattodea. They are known for their social structures and role as decomposers in ecosystems. Termites are distinguished by their wood-eating habits and the complex colonies they form.
