What do two earthworms exchange during mating explain why?
During mating, two earthworms exchange sperm with each other. Each worm has a clitellum, a thickened band that produces a mucus sheath to protect the fertilized eggs.

After mating, each worm can fertilize its eggs using the sperm received from its partner.
