What is the function of the seminal pores of an earthworm?
The function is to excrete mucus out of the embryonicolambrotal tubes in order to indirectly aid in preserving fertilization of a new worm for reproduction. This relates intermittently to the Clitellum.

It varies depending on the species, but each has at least 37 segments. http://animals.howstuffworks.com/worms/earthworm-info.htm
Opinion 2.
Thats wrong, worms have over 100 segments.
(i vote for #1.)
Where does digestion take place in an earthworm?
The food is sucked in through the mouth via a muscular pharynx. The food then passes through the esophagus, then stored in the crop. The food goes into the gizzard after that, where sand and contractions churn the food. After it passes through and is absorbed by the intestines, it exits through the anus.
Where do earthworms come from?
You usually get them in compost heaps and underneath stones.Or somtimes go just find them underneath the earth!
What are structures of an earthworm?
The structures of a flatworm and a earthworm are different by the way the are shaped. The earthworm is the one that looks like a regular worm it is more rounded and a flatworm looks like leeches.
How does an earthworms digestive system work?
The digestive system is partitioned into many regions, each with a certain function. The digestive system consists of the pharynx, the esophagus, the crop, the intestine and the gizzard. Food such as soil enters the earthworm's mouth where it is swallowed by the pharynx. Then the soil passes through the esophagus, which has calciferous glands that release calcium carbonate to rid the earthworm's body of excess calcium. After it passes through the esophagus, the food moves into the crop where it is stored and then eventually moves into the gizzard. The gizzard uses stones that the earthworm eats to grind the food completely. The food moves into the intestines as gland cells in the intestine release fluids to aid in the digestive process. The intestinal wall contains blood vessels where the digested food is absorbed and transported to the rest of the body.
Why do puppies eat slugs and earthworms?
== == Most puppies don't eat slugs and earthworms if you keep them inside, but they probably wouldn't anyway. Also, if they do it, it's probably because they don't know any better. Puppies use taste to explore their world, just as human babies do. A lot of what they "eat" isn't actually swallowed. I've never heard of a dog developing a taste for worms and slugs although I've owned one who liked to eat lizards. Puppies will pick up anything that they see. They don't know what they are supposed to eat, and yes they are exploring their world in the only way that they can. They don't eat only slugs or earthworms, they swallow small things that they found, because they don't know what's eatable.
Why do earth worms surface after it rains?
Worms need to remain moist in order to survive. The hot sun of the daytime will dry out their skin, and they will die, so they remain under ground and only come out during the moist night air to feed and move about on the surface. Worms breathe by absorbing oxygen through their skin and if there is sufficient oxygen in water, they will breath under water and will not drown, but rain water might not provide the most hospitable environment for their survival.
There are many scientific theories as to "why" worms come to the surface when it rains. Some research suggests that the underground water during rain can lack sufficient oxygen, which encourages the worms to seek the moist open air above ground. Another contributing factor is believed to be because the rain water makes the soil acidic, which can be fatal to worms, and perhaps the flooded tunnels and moist soil become too difficult to navigate. There is also the fact that worms move about and travel more easily on the moist surface which makes it easier to mingle with other worms and mate - which might be the primary reason they come out, or just a convenient benefit of the circumstances that drove them to the surface.
What are the biotic factors of an earthworm?
The ecological niche for an earthworm is decomposing the soil.
What organ helps the earthworm grind its food to tiny pieces?
The gizzard is the organ that helps the earthworm grind its food into tiny pieces.
I'm pretty sure they do it when they turn into butterflies :)
Why are snakes and earthworms classified in different groups?
You would think that since the look a lot alike, they must be in the same classification. But that isn't so. There is too much that makes them different from each other.
Earthworms have no lungs, but they breathe through their skin and they need to keep it moist so that they can absorb oxygen from air. Earthworms produce both sperms and eggs, but they cannot reproduce on their own. They need other worm’s sperm to fertilize an egg. Earthworms can’t bear light because it paralyses them, so they always run away from it. Moreover, they don’t have eyes and lastly they are cold-blooded insects. But what is most important is that they don't have a backbone.
Snakes are coldblooded reptiles without limbs and they have a backbone which makes them a vertebrate (like humans are). They have eyes that don't blink. Other reptile species include tortoises, turtles, lizards, alligators and crocodiles
The earthworm has no respiratory system How do gases move into and out of the earthworm?
This is because the earthworm takes in oxygen through its skin and releases CO2 through it's skin as well using diffusion
