Their fecal matter (body waste, also known as "worm tea") has nutrients that are good for the soil. The worms digest matter in the soil and make the nutrients finer and thus more accessible for plants. When worms are added to a compost pile, the worm tea can be collected and used as a rich fertilizer.
