Because earthworms are sensitive to light, they usually spend their days in the ground or in leaf litter. This sensitivity is an advantage to them because, if they spent their days in the sunlight, they would dehydrate and die.

What are the Advantage and disadvantage of innate immunity?

Advantage is that it gives a specific response. In a secondary exposure it responds so quickly you may not even feel sick. It is able to retain a long term memory against that specific pathogen as well. Disadvantage is that primary exposure it takes 1-2 weeks to start producing a response against a foreign pathogen. Also it is possible for your adaptive immunity to attack self cells, also called autoimmunity.
