To find out what an earthworm has been eating an examination of their droppings is needed. If the earthworm has been eating soil, sand will be present in the droppings.
The mouth is covered with a lip that helps the earthworm dig through the soil. This lip is called the prostomium. It is located at the front.
"To more forward, it grips the dirt with tiny stiff bristles on the tail end of its body. Then it stretches its body forward. This action pushes the need through the dirt. Then the earthworm grips the dirt under its head and pulls up the tail end of its body. As the worm tunnels, it eats its way through the layers of earth which it cannot push through easily and digests the dead plant material in the soil." Earthworms live in just about every corner of the earth but in Antarctica. In colder climates, the worm stays far down below the Permafrost.
It's a subterranean animal because obviously they cant live in the water and they mostly live in the dirt/soil.
An earthworm's life cycle is very long.
The setae, or hair-like projections from each segment, help the earthworm anchor into the soil when burrowing and moving through the dirt. Without the help of the setae, a worm would have a harder time gaining enough traction to pull itself forward.
the digestive tract
Cut it open or observe it.
Look in the worm's digestive system!
You look at its crop or the worm's scat.
by dissecting the earthworm and looking inside of the stomach...
weather u beleve it or not, wheather makes soil. When wheather is warm, rocks get bigger. When wheather is cold, rocks get smaller.
The way that the earthworm <annelida> adapts to filtering food out of the soil is that it separates the waste and the food. It then eats the food and releases the waste! (ewwwwww)
An earthworm is an omnivore (but more specifically a detritivore as they mainly eat decaying plant matter). It eats whatever material (plant or animal) that it ingests from the soil.
Because earthworm poop is dirt and it naturalizes the soil.
you can find miney thing in soil but mostly wheather rock
No, an earthworm cannot produce food because it comes in Kingdom Animalia which includes organisms who are heterotrophs and are not capable of producing food for themselves. instead they depend on other autotrophs for nutrition. the earthworm eats dead organic matter from the soil.
An earthworm, while moving, chews up some soil and spits out the same amount of soil back into the ground. The soil which was eaten becomes fertile and more plants will grow on fertile soil. therefore, an earthworm helps a farmer by making soil fertile.
