[1] Earthworms can make plants grow better, and possibly faster, by the improvements that they make to soil. They tunnel through soil, thereby opening up passageways for air, nutrients, and water. [2] They open up pore spaces for the passing of water, thereby improving waterholding and drainage in soil. [3] They eat and eliminate, thereby building up organic matter in soil. [4] They die and decay, thereby adding their body and body parts to the organic content of soil.

How do earthworms help the Earth?
Common earthworms burrow deep below the surface. In burrowing, worms swallow large quantities of earth that often contain vegetable remains. They are able to digest the nutritive matter of the soil, casting out the remains. The casts excreted from the worm's digestive system make the soil more fertile. The earthworm's burrowing action continually moves mineral-rich soil to the surface, and improves drainage by aerating the soil.
