▪Body is divided into many segments called as metameres. Every body segment of the earthworm possesses setae which help in their movement .
▪Movement in earthworms is caused by longitudinal and circular muscles.
▪Body is covered with mucous, a slimy secretion which also helps in eacy movement of the body.
