The Earthworm-body wall. The outermost layer of the earthworm body wall is the cuticle-a delicate membrane of fibrils that, along with the mucus that covers the skin of the worm, helps retain water.
The earthworm transforms dead plants and leaves (also called plant matter) into nutrients for the soil. Earthworms make food for living plants from dead plants. They leave this plant food (the nutrients) right in the soil where the plants can get to it. Isn't that nice of the earthworms? Figure 1 below shows a photo of this amazing little critter.
