Tiny specks/grains of dirt can be moved by an ant. They work hours a day and during the night. They hardly sleep just to work on their home.
They use specially made jaws that can clench shut on a grain or sand, rock or dirt, come to the surface, and drop it there.

∙ 11y agoLike us they can move any part of their body, by using their muscles and the pressure of their bodily fluids (compressed by muscles!)
If you mean how do they move from place to place, the answer begins with walking. They use their legs, usually by walking or running (actually, ants don't run like humans or moderate-sized four-legged animals, because running really means one jump after the other, not one step after the other like walking; so you could say they travel by walking, or if they are in a hurry, then by walking faster.)
But the Australian "bull ants" or "bulldog ants" also are called "jumping jacks" or "skipjacks" depending on where you come from. This is because if you annoy them they will jump several inches into the air to grab you with their rake-like jaws.
So you could say that they walk, walk faster, and jump.
