Worms break up the soil, mixing up the layers and introducing decaying vegetative material which would otherwise have remained on the surface. They improve oxygenation and drainage of the soil, all of these activities are beneficial to plants.

Worms are a gift of nature. They feed exclusively on decaying organic matter. Their castings (poop) convert this organic matter to more readily available plant nutrients. At the same time, their burrowing loosens and aerates the soil while also distributing organic matter more deeply into the soil structure. Plant root systems will be healthier, stronger, and more vigorous. I know of no plant that will not benefit from these incredible organisms. in simpler terms yes

Worms create little tunnels as they bore through the soil. If soil is too compacted, it becomes difficult for air and water to penetrate, but plant roots need those things. Worms aerate the soil.
