soil firms up around them
Earthworms make pores in the soil, allowing it to store water making the plants that grow in it healthier.
Earthworms cling to soil using their setae, which are tiny bristles located on their body. These setae help the earthworms move through the soil by gripping and anchoring onto the soil particles. This allows the earthworms to burrow efficiently and navigate through their environment.
No, earthworms cannot hear, but the feel the vibrations through the ground. That is their form of sight and hearing.
It use their side's mussel to move.
Yes that is one way they move through the soil, along with the help of the interaction of muscles
The food is passed through the digestive tract when the worm moves. The movement causes the muscles to contract and move the food through the system.
The movement of earthworms is achieved through the contraction and expansion of their circular and longitudinal muscles along their body segments. They use their hydrostatic skeleton to push themselves forward by anchoring the front end of their body and lengthening the rear end. This movement allows them to burrow through the soil and navigate their environment efficiently.
Well for one, the earthworms skin is slimy and wet to begin with. So, especially on rainy days they come to the surface when it is wet outside. If it is too dry they will either move down deeper into the surface of the soil where it is more moist or die. Brandon, college student.
the water cycle
Earthworms lack appendages to prevent getting stuck in burrows, as they move by elongating and contracting their bodies. This streamlined form allows them to navigate through soil easily. Additionally, not having appendages reduces surface area, helping them move efficiently through their burrowing activities.
No, but they have cartilage. That's what makes the Earthworm move!
They use their hydrostatic skeleton.
