    Termite will not perform its function which is digesting cellulose. Hence termite will unable to decay woods.

    Explanation:

    Termites and trichonympha (a protist) are in symbiotic relation. Trichonympha lives in the hind gut of a termite. Termites give a home to trichonympha while trichonympha produce an enzyme which is used by termites to digest cellulose. So without trichonympha, there will be no enzyme and no digesting activity by termites.
