Scientists have discovered that ants, after collecting the seeds and grains they eat, hide them underground and break them in two halves. This is because, if the seeds are split in two, they do not germinate, even in a favorable environment.

The real surprise, however, was observing that ants break coriander seeds into four parts.

After further research, scientists discovered that coriander seeds can germinate even if split in half, but they do not germinate if they are broken into four pieces. A fascinating and strategic behavior on the part of these little insects!
