Worms are small, soft-bodied invertebrates that play vital roles in ecosystems. Common types include earthworms, which improve soil health by aerating it and breaking down organic matter. Other species, like parasitic worms, can infect plants, animals, and humans, sometimes causing diseases. Many worms thrive in moist environments, such as soil, water, or inside hosts. Some, like nematodes, are microscopic, while others, like certain marine worms, can grow several feet long. Worms serve as food for birds, fish, and other wildlife, making them essential in food chains. Certain worms, such as compost worms, are also used in waste recycling and organic farming. Studying worms helps scientists understand biodiversity, soil fertility, and even medical parasitology. Their simple structure belies their ecological importance.
