Ants move dirt by using their powerful jaws and legs to dig and carry it away from their nest. They can also work together in a coordinated effort to move larger particles of dirt by creating underground tunnels and chambers. Additionally, ants use soil particles mixed with their saliva to create intricate structures like tunnels and mounds.
Like us they can move any part of their body, by using their muscles and the pressure of their bodily fluids (compressed by muscles!)
If you mean how do they move from place to place, the answer begins with walking. They use their legs, usually by walking or running (actually, ants don't run like humans or moderate-sized four-legged animals, because running really means one jump after the other, not one step after the other like walking; so you could say they travel by walking, or if they are in a hurry, then by walking faster.)
But the Australian "bull ants" or "bulldog ants" also are called "jumping jacks" or "skipjacks" depending on where you come from. This is because if you annoy them they will jump several inches into the air to grab you with their rake-like jaws.
So you could say that they walk, walk faster, and jump.
Ants use their mandibles, legs, and bodies to move dirt. They can use their mandibles to grab and carry small particles of soil, their legs to push and compact the dirt, and their bodies to create tunnels and chambers within the soil.
dirt
Yes, ants can live in a handful of dirt if it provides the necessary conditions for their survival, such as food, shelter, and protection from predators. Ants are highly adaptable and can create complex colonies even in small spaces like a handful of dirt.
Black ants may appear to move faster than red ants due to variations in their body structure, physiology, and behavioral patterns. Black ants may have longer legs or a different muscle composition that allows them to move more quickly. Additionally, environmental factors such as temperature or humidity may influence the speed of ant movement.
Pollination by ants is called myrmecophily. Ants may carry pollen on their bodies as they move from flower to flower, aiding in the pollination process.

from the ant hills that are mounds of dirt that normally have ants coming out
ants need mostly dirt and make holes in soil
How much dirt a ant can dig up depends on the ants. The species and size of the colony play a large role as well as the type of dirt.

They live in dirt and form thier ant hills to live in.
Ants Tunnelling and removing dirt
There are somewhere around 12,000 species of ants around the world, but none of them eat dirt. Some ants eat vegetables, some eat protein in the form of dead bugs, and some ants will even eat apples and other sweet tasting foods.
because it trys to eat the ants on the dirt and accidentally eats the dirt (soil)
no they eat dirt and remains, they are a decomposer
Ants live in anthills made from mounds of dirt on the surface of the ground, and tunnels underground.
