The saddle on a worm, specifically in earthworms, refers to a thickened, glandular section called the clitellum. This structure plays a crucial role in reproduction; it secretes a mucus ring that helps to form a cocoon for the fertilized eggs. The clitellum is more prominent during the breeding season and aids in the worms' mating process by facilitating the exchange of sperm.
