Setae are bristles or hair-like structures that help attach the earthworm to the ground and create friction so if an earthworm is going down a hill, it would slide down but actually continue to move through hydrostatic pressure.
Setae are external bristles that provide traction for the movement of a worm.
Each earthworm segment has four pairs of chaetae, which are bristles that provide traction for burrowing.

The setae helps the worm by making it move
The setae, normally eight per segment, help the earthworm move.
on each segments of the earthworm's body
The septae anchor the worm to the ground.
they keep the body above the ground
Setae on an earthworm (an annelid) point backwards to add traction as it moves, especially if it is moving up soil or something. Think of it as hooks, essentially a source of friction, for the generally smooth worm as it moves using peristaltic motion.
The bristles along the body of an earthworm are called the Setae,which are set along its segmented length. In all the body segments except the first, last and clitellum, there is a ring of S-shaped setae embedded in the epidermal pit of each segment.
The structures of a flatworm and a earthworm are different by the way the are shaped. The earthworm is the one that looks like a regular worm it is more rounded and a flatworm looks like leeches.
The setae are small spines which are projected from the body wall by muscles to act as anchors in the surface that the worm is moving along. The muscle can also retract the setae The circular muscles contract and expand in co-ordination with the longitudinal muscle in series such as that if the posterior muscle are expanded and the anterior circular muscles are contracted the worm pushes and stretches its front end forward. The anterior muscles then expand to anchor its front end by use of the setae and the rear end is pulled forward. All this happens in a smooth and rhythmic motion.
They may possibly face the anterior which explains why there is resistance trying to pull them from the soil.
Backwards.
The Setae, located on the underside of the worm.
Well the setae is what allows earthworms to move thorugh the dirt and stuff :)
Setae
earthworm moves by the hair like projections called setae .
Bristles also known as setae. They work as legs; they grip to soil with the setae. Setae also can dig through soil.

Yes on lateral and ventral surfaces.
The setae, or hair-like projections from each segment, help the earthworm anchor into the soil when burrowing and moving through the dirt. Without the help of the setae, a worm would have a harder time gaining enough traction to pull itself forward.
The bristles along the body of an earthworm are called the Setae, they are used as anchors as the earthworm moves along. The earthworms will anchor the rear of the body as it extends the front then anchor the front of the body as it contracts the rear. The setae are extended and contracted in sequence to match the movement of the body.

Except for the first and last segments, which have no setae, there are eight tiny bristle-like structures that can not be seen with the naked eye called setae on each segment of an earthworm. The arrangement of the setae is one factor that helps in the identification of earthworms, as they can be closely or widely paired in four pairs or separate. Setae grip the soil to help the earthworm move about and sense the enviroment.
