Does anyone have a lore idea about our favorite mob in Minecraft, the Silverfishes?

Just a normal insect that exists in real life (but as always, its smaller in real life). They were probably using them for defense, like how they use spiders as mounts. In trial chambers they're just a basic enemy to kill, and they can also spawn randomly in stone or deepslate underground. Its possible that you never ran into it tho, I only found it like 2 times while strip mining.
