Earthworms have two main sets of muscles: circular and longitudinal muscles. The circular muscles contract to elongate the body, while the longitudinal muscles contract to shorten it, allowing the worm to move through the soil effectively. This coordinated muscle action enables earthworms to burrow and navigate their environment efficiently.

a simple worm has no Defece forces accept to burry deep into the earth
There will be contractions and expansions of circular and longitudinal muscles passing through the segmented body
an earth worm is a type of worm.There a no types of earth worms
the earth worm and the red worm.
Earthworm have narrow bands of circular muscle fibers around their bodies and longitudinal muscles that control the length of their bodies located inside the circular muscles. These two sets of muscles, which are attached to the bristle-like setae on the outside of the body, work together to change the length and thickness of the worm so it can move.
an earth worm is longer and has more sections of the body in comparisence to a roundworm.
Earthworms are invertebrates, which means they do not have a backbone. In fact, they don't have any kind of bones, legs, eyes, or teeth. They feel wet, slimy, and squishy.While earthworms do not have legs, they do have muscles. They have muscles that circle their body and muscles that go from one end to the other.The circular muscles allow the worm to make its body wider or more narrow.The longitudinal muscles can shorten or lengthen the worm's body.Using their muscles, earthworms crawl by lengthening its front part and pushing forward through the soil.Notice how skinny the worm looks when its front end moves forward. Remember that the longitudinal muscles push the worm forward and the circular muscles squeeze the worm's body inward. Working together, these different muscles move part of the worm forward. When this is happening, tiny bristles called setaeon the underside of the worm hold the rear part of the worm in place.Once the front part has pushed forward, the front setae hold the worm in place and the rear setae turn loose. Now the worm is in position to pull its rear end forward.Notice how fat the rear end becomes as the worm's circular muscles relax and its longitudinal muscles contract. The rings of the earthworm expand and contract much like the coils of a slinky.
earth worms
An earth worm is plump and long. A round worm is long and slender almost like a hair.
Believe it or not, earthworms have zero feet.
