Open in App
Solution

Dear student Difference between earthworm and red wagglers are :- 1)). An earthworm is a burrowing annelid worm that lives in the soil, important in aerating and draining the soil and in burying organic matter while a compost worm is a red earthworm used in composting food scraps and other organic material and as fishing baits. Thus, this is the main difference between earthworms and compost worms. 2)).Also, earthworms carry their feeding material into the soil and therefore they are burrowers while compost worms carry their feeding material on to the soil and therefore, they are surface dwellers. 3)).Besides, the speed of reproduction of an earthworm is slower than that of a compost worm.
