Do termites eat concrete?

I found tiny cracks in my foundation, and I’m worried termites caused them. Can termites actually eat concrete?

Termites do not eat concrete, but they can find their way into tiny cracks in concrete and access wooden structures in this way. However, cracks in concrete do not necessarily mean that you have a termite problem, so look for the telltale signs of termites before concluding that you have a termite problem.
