Inside a termite's stomach, there are various microorganisms, including bacteria and protozoa, that help the termite digest cellulose from wood and plant material. These symbiotic organisms break down complex carbohydrates into simpler compounds, allowing termites to extract nutrients from their food. This mutualistic relationship is essential for the termite's survival, as termites cannot digest cellulose on their own.
