Why are most of the nerves on the ventral side of the worm?

Most of the nerves on the ventral side of a worm are concentrated there to facilitate movement and coordination. The ventral nerve cord runs along the belly, allowing for efficient control of muscles and rapid responses to environmental stimuli. This arrangement supports the worm's locomotion and helps it navigate through soil and other substrates. Additionally, having the nerve structures on the ventral side helps protect them from potential damage as the worm burrows.
