The first ants bring leaves to the bill for fungus cultivation. After this, it also protects the fungus from insects and removes waste or waste elements around this fungus. Not only this, ants provide the necessary moisture for fungus. If there is a lack of moisture at a place, then by increasing the moisture level by bringing water from outside at that place, and if the moisture is high then it also manages it.
