orient with respect to gravity
I believe they thin, membranous separations in between the earthworm segments. Functions would include structure within segments, and the connectivity of the skin and internal organs
An earthworm can regenerate its head and its tail. An example is, if you go dig a earthworm out from the ground and chop it in half then its head will grow a new tail and the tail will grow a new head. Eventually there would be two earthworms. If you cut an earthworm into four piece's then after a few weeks or even months there would be four earthworms. So if you think that if you cut an earthworm you are killing it you are wrong. But if you cut an earthworm into too many piece's, example twelve then you will kill the worm, and after that there is no way to bring it back to life.
A detritivore feeds on plant and animal remains and other dead matter. An earthworm would be an example of a detritivore.
The setae, or hair-like projections from each segment, help the earthworm anchor into the soil when burrowing and moving through the dirt. Without the help of the setae, a worm would have a harder time gaining enough traction to pull itself forward.
An adaptation would be the setea (or little hairs on each segment). They are used to help the earthworm move in the soil and attach itself if it feels threatened or in danger.

An earthworm.
the type of earthworm you would use in fishing would be tapeworm
failure to function
It would automatically be assumed that an earthworm does not have a exoskeleton because of the way they look and feel. They are very flexible and soft to the touch.
no. the roundworm would a nematode. an earthworm is part of the annelid family, because it is a segmented worm.
That would be the earthworm.....:)
A 'typical' hermaphrodite would be an earthworm.
An earthworm could only eat a somewhat decomposed three leaf clover having remnants imbedded in the soil through which the earthworm burrows.
alligator and earthworm
I think in southamerica
