Worms are vital in maintaining soil structure and fertility as they aerate the. They usually live in the soil’s top few centimetres, but will burrow deeper to find essential moisture if the earth dries out or freezes. They are covered in minute hairs, which allow them to grip the soil and move. Earthworms are made up of many ridged segments. Such earthworm-specific effects are consistent with recent results indicating that different groups of microorganisms are stimulated differently during gut transit, depending on the earthworm species, , also with differences in gut microbiota related to the earthworm diet and the fact that the microbial community structure of vermicompost is.Worms that live deeper under the ground have a diet that is primarily raw dirt. These organisms provide the worm with a variety of algae, fungi and bacteria that are essential for the worm's diet. On the surface, worms eat a variety of organic materials, such as dead grass and leaves that have fallen from the trees. This suction motion aids in helping the worm consume large amounts of food in a sort amount of time. When the worm eats its food, it pulls the materials into its mouth with the help of the pharynx and its prostomium (also called acron). The earthworm also has a pharynx, esophagus, crop, gizzard and intestine.Of the types in the US, worms that you grow can get up to 14 inches long.
The largest earthworm ever found measured 22 feet long. In the tropical areas of the world, some species of earthworms can reach up to 14 feet long. However, they can live as long as up to 8 years. Most worms will live between 1 and 2 years.
