SummaryO You have now increased your knowledge
of the earth worm. You have not only learned an earthworm lives in moist soil, but that they eat dead and decaying material. Just think about it if we didn’t have earth worms to eat the dead and decaying plant material we would have to walk through it every day.
O Most importantly you understand why earthworms are important to us, they not only carry organic material into the soil, but the burrows they build help air and water get deeper into the soil helping plants to grow.
