Where to Find Earthworms

Earthworms live in warm,

Some live under wet leaves

on the ground.

Some live in tunnels.

Earthworms often come above

the ground when it rains.

Some burrow deep

underground.

Food

Earthworms eat mostly dead

plants.

They find leaves and roots

in the dirt.

They also eat animal waste

in soil.

What Earthworms Do

Earthworms move by using

their muscles to wiggle and

stretch.

They leave their waste in

the dirt as they move.

Waste feeds plants

so they can grow.

The waste makes the soil

healthy for plants.

Roots need air

and water to grow.

Earthworm tunnels bring air

and water to the roots of

plants.

Earthworms help our plants

and gardens grow!
