Earthworms use their pharynxes to suck soil and detritus into their esophagus.
Leeches are annelids comprising the subclass Hirudinea. There are freshwater, terrestrial, and marine leeches. Like the Oligochaeta, they share the presence of a clitellum. Like earthworms, leeches are hermaphrodites. Some, but not all, leeches are hematophagous
Sanguinivous
Annelids are segmented worms, such as Earthworms. See the link below for a fuller description.
No, leeches do not have setae and that is one of the major differences that sets them apart from organisms such as earthworms or other marine worms when categorizing them in classes. So leeches/earthworms/and marine worms are all in the same Phylum - Phylum Annelids (Segmented Worms) but they're all in separate classes. So Polychaeta (Marine Worms) and Oligochaeta (Earthworms) - have many setae but Hirudinea (Leeches), do not.
Segmented worms are very common animals all over the world. Examples of these worms are bristle worms, earthworms, and fresh water leeches.

Yes, like earthworms, leeches are hermaphrodites.

Earthworms are examples of annelid worms (Phylum Annelida), which also contains leeches and many typres of marine worms. Earthworms are from the Class Oligochaeta, which contanins the earthworms, some freshwater worms and leeches.

No, it would be cool if they could though! ;) Some leeches are known to eat earthworms whole though...
Earthworms are big segmented worms that belong to the Phylum Annelida, Class Clitellata, and sub class Oligochaeta. Leeches are also worms belonging to the same Phylum and class, but sub class Hirudinae and are of three types, freshwater, terrestrial and marine.
Examples of annelids include earthworms, leeches, and marine worms. These segmented worms typically have a cylindrical body and can be found in various habitats, such as soil, freshwater, and marine environments.
Leeches belong to the phylum Annelida, which includes segmented worms such as earthworms and polychaetes.
