Answer

Since they don't have lungs, worms breathe through their skin, although the skin itself must be thin and requires that it be humid. That's also why they don't come out a lot until there's rain.
Worms breath through their body surface in a process called pooping; some of them, like polychaeta have also branchial appendages.
