Earthworms exhibit a behavior known as phototropism, which involves turning away from light. This characteristic is primarily a survival mechanism; they prefer dark, moist environments that protect them from desiccation and predators. By avoiding light, earthworms can remain buried in soil or leaf litter, where they can efficiently carry out their roles in soil aeration and nutrient cycling. Their sensitivity to light helps them maintain their habitat and overall health.
