Bamboo is not a wood and contains cellulose fibers which doesn't absorb moisture. The soft, non-structural, inner portions of the bamboo culms might attract termites or other insects but the outer/harder portions will remain intact.
Many floor manufacturers, that market bamboo-based flooring, state that bamboo is 99% termite safe due to the fact that it doesn't rot because it's moisture resistant. Bamboo doesn't harbor the conditions for termites (as well as other wood eating insects ) to thrive.
Hope this answered your question.
