Black worms, often referred to as mud or aquatic worms (Lumbriculus variegatus), are not parasitic. They are benthic organisms typically found in freshwater environments, where they play a role in the ecosystem as detritivores, feeding on decomposing organic matter. While they can host certain microorganisms, they do not rely on a host for survival or reproduction, distinguishing them from true parasites.
