Answer:

A moist surface is necessary for oxygen to be absorbed and carbon dioxide to be given off. The worm's skin is protected by a thin cuticle and kept moist by a slimy mucus. This lets it absorb the oxygen it needs and expel carbon dioxide. ... Air contains more oxygen than water does, and remember, earthworms need oxygen.
