there are 5 different types of worms. there is the

Earthworm: There are around 2,700 different types of earthworm. As their name suggests, they live in the earth, and they are generally regarded as beneficial, as their movements mix the soil, keeping it well aerated and porous. Earthworms eat various types of dead organic material, such as fallen leaves and other plant parts, and excrete waste that helps supply living plants with nutrients.Nematodes: There are just under 20,000 known species of nematode worms, but the true number may be much higher, as many types have not been studied closely, due to their usually small size and diverse habitats.Flatworms: The flatworms include both predatory and parasitic species. The reason they are flat is that they have no circulatory system - oxygen and nutrients reach cells by diffusing through tissue, so the cells must all be near the surface to receive oxygen and near the gut to receive nutrients from food. The gut may be branched, to enable distribution of nutrients to all tissues.Wormlike Insect Larvae: Many insects have larvae that are commonly described as worms. For example, inchworms, - the caterpillars of geometrid moths - have three pairs of legs at the front of their bodies and two to three pairs at the back, and move with a looping motion. This, combined with the fact that many types grow to around an inch (2.54 cm) long, gives them their name: they look as if they are measuring out inches.Marine Worms: The polychaetes, or bristle worms, are the most commonly seen marine worms. They have segmented bodies with prominent bristles, and many species live in burrows in sand or mud at the seashore or in shallow coastal waters, although some species are found on the sea floor under deep water or among coral reefs.
