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.

The cuff like structure in earthworms used in reproduction?
The cuff-like structure in earthworms used in reproduction is known as the clitellum. During mating, the clitellum secretes a mucus that forms a cocoon around the eggs and sperm, eventually developing into a fertilized egg. This cocoon is then deposited in the soil, where the new earthworms will hatch.

Why are worms smooth?
One of the main reasons as to why the worms are slimy is that their bodies are lathered with mucus. This dissipates and turns into oxygen. It gets into their bodies which allows them to breathe. They mainly inhale and exhale through the skin. This is the reason they need to be wet. It's the only way they can breathe. The earthworm would die if the mucus is removed. Hope this helps.
