Earthworms, of the phylum Annelida are food for birds, and keep the soil aerated. Sometimes large earthworms are used for dissection in first-term Biology classes, to teach the understanding of basic internal organs. Leeches are also annelids, and help with healing wounds. Yes, leeches are back in the medical field!

annelids impact humans because the earthworm's tunnels make way for air, water and plant roots to get in the soil and they make the soil more fertile. Marine annelids can be used as bait and prey for fish which we eat.
