Solution
- Earthworms loosen the soil by burrowing deep into it, thus they help to aerate the soil.
- This continuous digging of soil also helps the water to reach the roots quickly.
- Earthworms can decompose the organic matter from the soil and convert it into rich manure.
- This helps in increasing the fertility of the soil, which ultimately increases crop production.
Thus, earthworm is said to be farmer’s friend.
