The crop of a worm is a digestive organ that stores food before it goes through the gizzard (a digestive organ that helps break down food) so it doesnt break down the food at all. Just stores it.
The crop is located closer to the head. The crop has a thinner wall. The gizzard is more muscular and located posterior to the crop.
Gizzard because it is the next after the crop when food is going through the system.
The gizzard is harder than the crop in an earthworm. The gizzard is a muscular organ with stones inside that help grind up food, while the crop is a storage organ that stores food temporarily before it moves to the gizzard for digestion.
The prostomium is the fleshy lobe located at the anterior end of an earthworm. It covers the mouth and is involved in sensory perception and helping the earthworm navigate its environment.
