What is an "ant"?
An ant is a small insect belonging to the family Formicidae, known for its social behavior and organized colonies. They have a distinct body structure with a segmented body, six legs, and antennae. Ants play various roles within the colony, including foraging for food, building and maintaining nests, and caring for the young. They communicate through chemical signals called pheromones and are known for their remarkable teamwork and division of labor. Ants can be found in diverse habitats worldwide and are considered ecologically important for their role in seed dispersal, soil aeration, and pest control.
