Question

Why is the earthworm referred to as 'farmer's friend'?

Open in App
Solution

Earthworms improve the soil texture. They make the soil loose by burrowing into the soil, thus allowing air to enter into it and water to drain from it. They also form channels in the soil for roots to spread through. Hence, earthworms are referred to as 'farmer's friend'.
