Why do earthworms have a crop and a gizzard?
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.
Will a earth worm die if its cuticle gets dry?
it dies Earthworms are seen on the surface after large rain storms flood the soil because, despite needing a moist environment to allow the diffusion of gases across their skin membrane, where the soil becomes saturated they begin to drown. To protect themselves they escape to the surface, but if the ground is un-naturally hard they may after become stranded and die from exposure. This is why they are seen in places like driveways after a storm. However, this theory is not applicable to certain earthworm species that can survive immersion for several days in oxygenated water. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthworms
Pretty much. They eat soil so you can say they're herbivores.
I belive that they do because theya lso eat the bad drit so they can grow if you are going this for a science fair project it is a good idea to look at some books to see if you are right about them growing healthy.

What domain does the earthworm belong to?
Worms are members of the phylum Annelida, and all annelids belong to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya, members of which are characterised by having cells with nuclei. Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Animalia, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Protista.

Why do earth worms have a circulatory system?
An earthworm has a circulatory system consisting of four or more ventral blood vessels and one dorsal blood vessel that is also its heart. Most of the pumping of blood is performed by general muscular movements.
How do earthworms enrich plant growth?
They decompose animals and there castings give nutrients to the soil.
They live underground that's why they are called earthworms.
Where do earthworms live and what do they eat?
Earthworms live in the top foot or two of moist soil. They take in, or 'eat' soil in their front end, digest out the organic part of the soil that is useful to them, and pass the rest out of their rear end. By doing this, earthworms work their way through solid soil, leaving a sort of 'tube' in the soil behind them.
Do goldfish and earthworms have a backbones?

Earthworms are cold-blooded invertebrates, not mammals. They and mammals belong to the taxonomic animal "kingdom" though. They can withstand wet soil but will drown if flooded.
How can you tell a male earth worm from a female earth worm?
Worms are Hermaphrodites. They neither are male or female.
Arthur: It's in times like these that I really should've listened to what my mother told me when I was young...

Arthur: Oh, I don't know, I wasn't listening.
An inchworm can live up to a year. Most live only a few weeks and die after mating. All eggs hatch in the spring so depending on when the egg was laid, that determines how long it will live.
Sometimes earthworms are harmful to the environment; other times they are beneficial.
Studies have shown that at least 7 species are invading hardwood forests throughout the US and causing damage to tree wildflowers, ferns, and tree seedlings.
Soils that are compacted can benefit from earthworms by making tunnels that "aerate" the soil. They incorporate organic matter into the soil and give them nutrients, but they can be very harmful. Their casting (excrement) can cause erosion and lumpy lawns.
The damage from earthworms has become a problem in areas and can be reduced greatly if fishers are educated not to let unused worms into the environment.
How many segments of an earth worm have a heart?
An earthworm, Annelida [= ringed] has up to five pairs of hearts.
