Why do earthworms come out of soil in rainy season?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Earthworms live inside the soil and get oxygen required for respiration from the air trapped in the gaps between the soil particles. In rainy season, all the spaces in soil get filled by rain water. Hence, the earthworms come out of the soil to get air for respiration.
