Gizzard
The gizzard is harder than the crop in an earthworm. The gizzard is a muscular organ with stones inside that help grind up food, while the crop is a storage organ that stores food temporarily before it moves to the gizzard for digestion.
The earthworm's crop and gizzard feel different because they perform two different functions. The gizzard is hard to the touch because it is used to grind the soil the earthworm takes into its body. The crop is soft and more saclike because it stores food that the earthworm separates from the other things it takes in.
In a cross section anterior to the gizzard of an earthworm, you would find the crop, esophagus, pharynx, and the mouth. The crop stores food temporarily before it moves to the gizzard for further mechanical digestion.
