Скачать или смотреть Earthworms for Kids | Learn all about these slimy animals

What is an earthworm? In this video for kids, you'll discover that earthworms are small, tube-shaped animals that live in the ground. They have long, soft bodies that are made up of many segments which look like little rings. Each segment has tiny bristles called setae that help the earthworm move through the soil. Their mouths are located at the front end, and they use them to eat dirt and organic matter, which helps them get nutrients.

These slimy creatures are detritivores, meaning they eat dead and decaying matter. They never need to catch their food like other animals since it's all around them in the soil. By constantly eating and moving through the soil, they help break down organic material and mix it into the ground, creating a healthy environment for plants to grow. This process is called vermicomposting and is often used in gardens to improve soil health.

Earthworms are very important for the environment because they help keep the soil healthy. Their
tunnels allow air and water to reach plant roots, which helps plants grow strong. Earthworms also eat
dead leaves and other organic material, breaking it down into smaller pieces. This process turns the
material into nutrient-rich soil, which provides essential nutrients for plants. Without earthworms, the
soil would not be as fertile, and it would be harder for plants to grow.
