AI overview

A worm is a long, soft-bodied animal without bones or legs that lives in soil, water, or as a parasite in other organisms. Worms matter because they play important roles in ecosystems—for example, earthworms help break down soil and improve its quality for plants—and some types are studied by scientists to better understand biology and disease.
