Yes, termites actually eat wood. Using bacteria, protozoa and microbes that live inside their stomachs, they are able to digest cellulose, the main constituent of wood.

Termites eat a certain thing inside the wood. I forget the name but its the part that structurizes the wood. without this componet in the wood the wood itself will crumble apart and collapse.
