Termites host various microorganisms, but one of the most notable is the protozoan Trichonympha. This microorganism resides in the termite's gut and helps break down cellulose from wood, which is a primary component of their diet. Additionally, bacteria and archaea in the gut microbiome also contribute to cellulose digestion and nutrient absorption, making these microorganisms essential for the termite's survival and ecological role in decomposing plant material.
