Earthworms are long, wiggly animals that live in the dirt. They do not have any legs, eyes, or ears! Earthworms move by stretching and squeezing their soft bodies through the soil. If you dig in a garden, you might find one.
Earthworms are great helpers for plants. As they dig tunnels underground, they mix up the soil and make it healthier. They eat dead leaves and turn them into food for plants. Gardeners love earthworms because they help flowers and vegetables grow big and strong.
