Solution

Answer:​

Organism Habitat Respiratory organ
Soil Skin

The animal R could be an earthworm because the earthworm lives inside the soil and breathes through their moist skin.​

The skin of earthworms is quite thin and moist and has a good blood supply through which they can easily absorb oxygen needed for respiration.​
