Answer:
Many earthworms secrete a mucus (coelomic fluid) that helps them to move more easily through the soil. In some burrowing species, this fluid forms a cement-like substance that lines their burrows to help keep the walls from collapsing. In the New Zealand native species Octochaetus multiporus, the mucus may also be part of its defence system as it is toxic to soil bacteria O. multiporus has another special adaptation – its mucus is bioluminescent! When it is disturbed, the O. multiporus earthworm squirts mucus from its mouth, anus and dorsal (underside) pores, and the fluid emits a bright orange-yellow light that glows in the dark.
