Well, first it eats itself. Then, it spits itself out, and it flings out of it's mouth and flies for a maximum of 5 inches.. They just repeat this process.

Trust me. it may seem ridiculous, but I found it in an Encyclopedia that was created in October of 2011.

They slither and crawl on their stomach, just like snakes. They move using thin hair-like structures called setae. The muscles maintain structure and help it move by retracting and expanding.

Earthworms have tiny hairs on each segment of their body. The hairs 'catch' on the soil as the worm moves, allowing it to pull itself forward.

The waste matter from earthworms are nutritious for plants. Earthworms also keep soil loose when they dig and move around the soil. This helps roots and water penetrate through the soil easily.

It is also claimed that chemical fertilizers and pesticides kill off earthworms thus gardens loose the benefits that these worms bring.
