Solution

The type of earthworm called red worm is used for composting. This method of preparing

compost with the help of red worms is called vermin composting. Red worms have a special structure

called gizzards in their bodies with which they grind food material and convert it into manure.

Small insects, bugs, beetles, spiders and micro organisms are the other organisms that help in

composting.
