Worm+Food


 * //What do earthworms eat? //**

They don't eat dirt, like many people believe. Earthworms eat decaying plant and animal matter, and they usually swallow some soil with it fuck.



//**How do earthworms obtain their food?** //

Earthworms possess very strong mouth muscles - they do not have teeth. Earthworms will sometimes pull fallen leaves down into their burrow. When the leaf decomposes or softens a little they pull small bits off at a time to munch on. They also "swallow" soil as they burrow and extract nutrients from it.
