Why do termites live like in a castle?

Since they cannot live in the sun, due to the thin skin that dries very quickly, they make a huge castle by mixing the soil with saliva, which creates a very hard cement, strong as stone. Termites are master builders. They have a king and a queen in their palaces who do not stop laying eggs. The female can lay 8,000 eggs a day. She is a real egg laying machine. It has a belly that can reach a length of 10cm. Thousands of termites living in their castle are their children. Termites can build castles up to 4.5 m high.
