Is a termite a producer or a consumer?

Answer 1

A producer is an organism that makes food from light - plants and some algae and bacteria. Can a worm sit in the sun and make energy? No, so it - like every other animal on the planet - is a consumer.

Answer 2

Since termites eat cellulose, or wood fibers, the closest categorization would be herbivore.

Answer 3

A termite is a herbivore, however it is also considered as a decomposer.

Answer 4

A termite is a consumer, specifically a decomposer, because it feeds on dead plant material like wood. It breaks down and recycles organic matter back into the ecosystem.

Answer 5

a consumer

Answer 6

carnivore
