which woods are both termite rot resistant

i know people like cedar because it is more bug resistance, but as far as rotting goes green treeted works the best. I'm not sure about one wood acting in the two circumstanses that you've stated?

cedar from what I've learned is highly bug resisant, if i'm wrong why do people put clothes and things they don't want bugs or moths to get at in cedar closets and cedar chests?

Naturally resistant woods include redwood, cypress and cedar, but these woods are not long-lasting as treated lumber.
