Question

Earthworms belong to the group of invertebrates called annelids. They spend most of their time underground, in burrows that they make by eating soil. Describe TWO adaptations that help them to survive in their habitat.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. An earthworm has a streamlined body with no antennae or fins or arms or legs! This streamlined shape is an adaptation to living in narrow burrows underground and the need to move easily through the soil.
2. Each segment on an earthworm’s body has a number of bristly hairs, called setae (sometimes written as chaetae). These hairs provide some grip to help the earthworm move through the soil.
