What food do earthworms eat?
What kind of food do earthworms eat? The decaying organic matter and a large number of soil particles eaten by earthworms are digested to form feces excreted from the body, which are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients.
Earthworms also dig caves by stacking soil to one side or directly swallowing it for food. Some earthworms bring swallowed soil to the soil surface and excrete it in the form of small soil particles or earthworm dung.
Earthworms also climb out of the hole to feed on the leaves of some plants on the ground.
Earthworms can promote the decomposition of plant components, so that some of the nutrients seep into the soil, they continue to dig holes in the soil, so that the circulation of air, but also so that Rain Water can be properly discharged. Without earthworms, the soil would soon become hard and lifeless.
