Hello, everyone. My name is Lucia. My report is about earthworms and how they help plants.

Earthworms live under the ground. They do not have eyes, but they can feel light on their skin. Light tells them to stay underground.

As earthworms dig, they make little tunnels in the soil. Air and water move down the tunnels to the roots of plants.

Earthworms also eat old leaves. What they leave behind makes the soil rich, so plants grow better.

After a big rain, you may see earthworms on the sidewalk. Wet ground keeps their skin damp, so they can crawl far and find a new place to live.
