The bristles along the body of an earthworm are called the Setae, they are used as anchors as the earthworm moves along. The earthworms will anchor the rear of the body as it extends the front then anchor the front of the body as it contracts the rear. The setae are extended and contracted in sequence to match the movement of the body.
Setae are bristles or hair-like structures that help attach the earthworm to the ground and create friction so if an earthworm is going down a hill, it would slide down but actually continue to move through hydrostatic pressure.

A earthworm does not have a skeleton. It has bristles on each segment called setae that help the earthworm move. Earthworms have no limbs. The earthworm has two sets of muscles; one that makes it long and thin and one that makes it fat.
The structures that help earthworms and most other worms in the annelida phylum are called setae. These are bristle-like structures that act almost like feet and grip the surface the earthworm is moving on.
