Why does air near the Earth's surface have to be moist in order for a thunderstorm to form?

The energy that drives a thunderstorm comes from the latent heat stored in water vapor. This energy is released when the water vapor condenses. If there is not enough moisture then there is not enough energy.

What is the role of ciliated epithelial in the lung?
The ciliated epithelium in the lung is located on the inside of the bronchioles. The cilia and the moist surface lining captures dirt or toxins that are inhaled. This is coughed up with some of the moist secretions as mucus in order to cleanse the lungs and keep them clear for gas exchange.

How does earthworm's system of gas exchange limit the worms lifestyle?
They have to keep their skin moist in order to absorb oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. They keep their skin moist with slimy mucus produced by epithelial cells. They also go to the surface when it rains.
