The crop of a worm is a digestive organ that stores food before it goes through the gizzard (a digestive organ that helps break down food) so it doesnt break down the food at all. Just stores it.
Gizzard because it is the next after the crop when food is going through the system.
The gizzard is harder than the crop in an earthworm. The gizzard is a muscular organ with stones inside that help grind up food, while the crop is a storage organ that stores food temporarily before it moves to the gizzard for digestion.
The Crop is a body part in an earth worm
the earth worm gets its food by consuming taking in dirt with its mouth. and exits thought the anus. then the food is broken down in side the gizzard and crop.

A gizzard is a sack like organ at the back of the earthworms throat. The gizzard basically chews the earthworm's food since the worm doesn't have any teeth. The crop is a thinner organ closer to the head. The crop stores food.
No, worms do not have a stomach--they do have a crop and a gizzard, as part of the digestive tract. The mouth of the worm connects directly to this tract, which runs the entire length of it's body.
The gizzard is a muscular organ used for grinding food during digestion. After a worm sucks in food with their pharynx, it moves to the esophagus, then to the crop to store it, then to the gizzard, to the stomach, to the intestine, then it leaves through its anus.
