The collective noun for a group of ants is called a “colony.”
A colony of ants can consist of thousands or even millions of individual ants, all working together in a highly organized social structure. Within the colony, there are different roles that ants take on, including worker ants that gather food and care for the young, soldier ants that protect the colony, and queen ants that are responsible for reproduction. The term “colony” reflects their cooperative behavior and the intricate society they establish, which is essential for their survival and success as a species.
