How can you find out if a earthworm eats soil?

You can find out if an earthworm eats soil by observing it in a controlled environment, such as a terrarium, with soil and other food sources. If you see the earthworm consuming soil by ingesting it and passing it through its digestive system, then it is likely consuming the soil. Additionally, the presence of soil particles or organic matter in the earthworm's waste (castings) can indicate that it is eating soil.
