In earthworms, locomotion occurs through a combination of muscular contractions and the use of setae, tiny bristle-like structures that anchor parts of their body to the soil. They move by alternating contraction and relaxation of their circular and longitudinal muscles, allowing them to extend and shorten their bodies. In contrast, snails move using a muscular foot that secretes mucus, which reduces friction and helps them glide over surfaces. Their movement is facilitated by rhythmic contractions of the foot's muscles, allowing them to travel in a smooth, gliding manner.

How does sexual reproduction take place in earthworm?

Although earthworms have male and female organs, they still need to mate in order to reproduce. Like humans, they can not fertilize themselves.
