Earthworms help soil stay healthy by mixing it up and adding food for plants. Imagine the soil is like a big pile of dirt, and earthworms are like little chefs who dig through it, making tunnels as they go. When they poop out, their poop is full of nutrients that make plants grow better.
Examples
- A garden with lots of earthworms grows better tomatoes.
- Earthworms turn old leaves into food for plants.
- Soil with tunnels from earthworms feels soft and easy to dig.
