Black worm is another name for a leech, and leaches do not have the ability to produce part (or all depending on the species) of there blood. So they must get it from somewhere, so they get it from whatever they can latch onto, its also full of nutrients to help growth.
Blackworms move food and oxygen through their bodies using a process called diffusion. Nutrients and oxygen are absorbed by the body wall of the worm directly from the environment and are distributed to the cells through the circulatory system. Waste products are also eliminated from the body through diffusion.
Oxygen and nutrients are transported by a blackworm's blood. Oxygen is carried to cells for cellular respiration, while nutrients are delivered to provide energy and building blocks for various cellular functions.
Animals that may eat California Blackworms include fish, birds, amphibians, and other aquatic predators. Insects such as dragonfly larvae and diving beetles are likely to consume California Blackworms as well.
Because you need blood
bcause we need blood to live without it we will die

Why one or both ends of some of the blackworms are lighter in color than the rest of their bodies
Blackworms, or Lumbriculus variegatus, are related to annelids, which are segmented worms. They belong to the class Clitellata, which includes earthworms and leeches. These aquatic worms are commonly found in freshwater habitats and are known for their ability to regenerate lost segments of their bodies. Blackworms play a role in the ecosystem by contributing to sediment turnover and serving as a food source for various aquatic animals.
Wet moist soil underground is the best habitat for worms
You have to cut the worm in the middle of the body between the light and dark brown spots also known as the clitellum.
If you're asking about California black worms, you can feed them sinking pellets or flakes, any fish food would be OK when the food start to spoil then the worms will eat it, just be careful no to over feed.
Yes, blackworm blood does transport nutrients and waste. Like many other annelids, blackworms possess a closed circulatory system that allows their blood to circulate throughout their bodies, delivering essential nutrients to cells and transporting metabolic waste products to excretory organs for removal. This efficient system helps maintain their internal environment and supports their overall physiological functions.
Earthworms and Blackworms both live in water and soil. also they breath through their skin.
