Question

Why is an earthworm not able to move on a plain glass tile?

Open in App
Solution

A number of tiny hair-like bristles are present on the lower surface of an earthworm's body. These bristles help it to get a good grip on the surface of a ground. However, these bristles do not provide good grip on a plain glass tile; hence, the earthworm cannot move on tile.
