It is used to small amounts of soil becasue they break down the large amounts of soil to be able to fit in the body correctly.

The earthworm does this because the GIZZARD helps churn up the food and then it passes through the intestine which cleans it.

Earthworms do not chew their food. They take in food through tubes that protrude from the inside to the outside of their body. The food is digested and the waste is then released.
