The mucus that the earthworms excrete through pores in its skin as well, as aiding the worms progress, also acts as a waste disposal system of nitrogen laden waste products, and acts as a protective film which prevents toxic material entering the body, but at the same time allows absorption of oxygen.
The nitrogen rich slime lines the earthworms burrows to bind together soil particles. Slime contributes as much nitrogen to the soil as do casts and urine. But this should not be overstated as research is not complete.
