They are worms that live at the beach. They stick themselves to rocks and stay in the shade. They wait until the tide comes in to give them food. They are able to breathe air! They eat microscopic plants and seaweed. They are invertebrates and come in different colours.

What is a long coiled tube in worms where many eggs are stored?

The long coiled tube in worms where many eggs are stored is called the ovary. It is an essential reproductive organ in female worms that produces and stores eggs until they are released for fertilization.


Which zone do tube worms live in?

Tube worms, particularly giant tube worms, live in the abyssal zone, a deep ocean region marked by complete darkness, high pressure, and cold temperatures. They thrive near hydrothermal vents—cracks on the seafloor releasing superheated, mineral-rich water. These vents support chemosynthetic bacteria, which convert chemicals like hydrogen sulfide into energy, forming the foundation of the tube worms' food source. This extraordinary adaptation enables them to flourish in an otherwise harsh and nutrient-poor environment.


Do worms eat egg shells?

Yes they do, and grow in a cocoon. Although worms are hermaphrodite (having both sets of sex organs in the clitellum) they cannot impregnate themselves. Two worms line up head to tail and pass sperm to each others spermathecae, sperm sacs. A slime tube forms over the clitellum (saddle), dries out and fills with fluid. As the worm wriggles out of the shrinking tube 5-6 eggs and sperm are deposited in it. The tube closes to form a cocoon from which tiny fully functioning worms emerge some time later. Worm cocoons can lie dormant for a year if the soil conditions are not right to support the baby worms. All worms that are cut in half make 2 dead halves of a worm. It is a myth that both halves survive. They might take a while to die but die they do.
