so they do not dry out
Wet moist soil underground is the best habitat for worms
Worms are not suitable for aquarium soil, consider how worms come to the surface when it is wet, they actually are preventing themselves from drowning. So earthworms will not work, not to mention they eat rotting and decomposing matter, which, for the most part, the aquarium soil is lacking.

Well, worms may live in wet and damp areas such as wet soil.They love soil to squirm around in.
wet ;)
Worms themselves are moist. Their moisture "equilibrium" doesn't change in moist soil. But dry soil will desiccate them - they head deeper looking for moister soil.
fertile and wetWorms are adapted to live in any soil that holds moisture and has enough organic matter to sustain them. Earthworms do better in loams, clay loams, and silty soils than they do in sandy soil, mainly because sandy soil drains too quickly and doesn't have enough organic matter to feed them. Red compost worms, Eisenia fetida, live under pools of organic matter, like depressions where leaves settle in the fall. They live in the mulch layer between the soil and the surface, not in the soil itself.
There are worms that are parcites and live of from other animals like tapeworm and ring worm and there are worms that live in soil like earthworms.
Yes! That is, if they are earth worms not leaf eating worms. They play a big part in fertilizing soil.
Soil is created by worms. Worms eat organic material, and soil, and then they poop out soil.
soft and wet
Worms usually live and like to live in moist sand as they can easily take nutrition from moist easy to consume moist soil.They will also breed in moist soil but it should neither be too much wet nor too dry as they will not be able to consume it and will eventually die due to lack of nutrition.
