- Are we there yet?
Alright already, you don't have to be so rough about it.
- Koki look.
What are they doing?
- I read about this during the food web challenge that we did.
They grow a special fungus on the grass.
That fungus helps break down the plant so that when the termites eat it they get more energy.
- Whoa, so this is like a kitchen where they make the food for the whole colony.
Ew no, I told you I'm not a piece of grass.
- Looks kinda pretty.
- Yeah thanks.
