worms eat through the soil then it removes its waste
Earthworms do not actually eat soil; they consume the organic matter within the soil as they burrow through it. This organic matter includes decomposing plant material, bacteria, and fungi. By observing an earthworm's behavior and the presence of organic matter in its digestive system, one can determine that they do not consume soil directly.
In their stomache.
Their nutrition comes from things in soil, such as decaying roots and leaves. Animal manures are an important food source for earthworms. They eat living organisms such as nematodes, protozoans, rotifers, bacteria, fungi in soil.
An earthworm could only eat a somewhat decomposed three leaf clover having remnants imbedded in the soil through which the earthworm burrows.
No. It digests decomposing organic matter in the soil.
Earthworms eat organic matter found in soil such as decomposing leaves, plant roots, and microorganisms. They ingest soil along with the organic matter and extract nutrients from it as they digest. You can observe earthworms in a controlled environment with soil and organic material to see if they consume the soil particles.
Well... You can't. Earthworms have a tendency to eat dirt since they live in it. So practically, they eat dirt and they dispose it! If you cut open a worm, you would see mostly dirt because that's what's inside! They eat it... They dispose of it... They live it.
An earthworm is an omnivore (but more specifically a detritivore as they mainly eat decaying plant matter). It eats whatever material (plant or animal) that it ingests from the soil.
Earthworms are mostly saprophytic in nature. They eat soil which inturn provides them with the dead decaying organic matter inside the soil.
