Answer:

Earthworms' bodies are made up of ring-like segments called annuli. These segments are covered in setae, or small bristles, which the worm uses to move and burrow. ... The worm's first segment contains its mouth. As they burrow, they consume soil, extracting nutrients from decomposing organic matter like leaves and roots.

In spring as the soil thaws down to the level of the estivating worms, their bodies start to work again and they start eating. During cool, moist days, they can often be found at the surface, making them a convenient food source for robins! But the hot sun often drives them back into the soil.
