can you breathe under water? no. and earthworms are in the same animal kingdom (mammals), so they cannot breathe under water.

Earthworms are cold-blooded invertebrates, not mammals. They and mammals belong to the taxonomic animal "kingdom" though. They can withstand wet soil but will drown if flooded.

∙ 11y agoworms can live for weeks in water. They do not leave the ground because they will drown when it rains, they surface because it is moist. Worms breath through skin, but it needs to be moist and cool or their skin will dry out. They surface when it rains because its safer for them to travel above ground at tht time.
