If I remember well, you can pick up food no matter what kind of ant you are, worker or soldier.
Now I didnīt remember if being that ant with a pair of wings you can collect food (I never used them to go around), but for the other two, yes, you ALWAYS can pick food with a soldier or a worker, at least in the MS-Dos version that I have from years ago.
And itīs better to catch food with a soldier in case of a fortuite encounter againts a red ant. The workers use to die more often than the soldiers against red ants, the giant spider only can be killed...ummm...no spoilers!.
