My gosh they need the soil to survive it feeds and burrows in it and also protects the soil it is a critical procedure.
it sticks to the soil.
Earthworms cling to soil using their setae, which are tiny bristles located on their body. These setae help the earthworms move through the soil by gripping and anchoring onto the soil particles. This allows the earthworms to burrow efficiently and navigate through their environment.

Earthworms have adapted to live in soil by having a slimy, cylindrical body that allows them to move easily through tunnels. They have bristles on their body to help anchor themselves in the soil and they can absorb oxygen through their skin. They also have a specialized digestive system to break down organic matter in soil for nutrition.
worms are adapted in soil because their body temperature can with stand the temperature in the soil(since their body takes in moisture to live).
you people better figure it out or else......
Yes, soil is essential for earthworms as they burrow through it to create tunnels and extract nutrients. Earthworms rely on soil for food, shelter, and protection. Without soil, earthworms would struggle to survive.
Because earthworms eat just about every other organism in the soil.
they fertilize the soil
The answer is that earthworms help to build soil and fertilize
When you touch a earth worm it quickly contracts and withdraws into its burrow.The earthworm has no eyes so it cannot tell that you are a bird about to eat it. Its rapid withdrawal is a behavioural adaption to avoid being eaten.
An earthworm's body is adapted to life in the soil by having a slender body and by digesting soil. The long body makes it easier to burrow. Also, by just digesting the soil and passing it through the anus the worm can get nourishment while just moving.
