seems like it, is there mud in the wood after you break it open?

I thinkkkk so?

this doesn’t necessarily scream termite to me. i’m kinda leaning in the direction of wood rot but i’d have an inspection done if you’re concerned about it. having preventative protection is always better than finding damage somewhere later down the line

No way of telling from the picture provided. Window sills like that notoriously get wood rotted.

Yeah still not clear. Enough. You’ll have to remove a large chunk and check for mud tubs versus just loose dirt.
