Question

How do worms move?                                        

Answer 1

Worms move using a combination of muscular contractions and the expansion and contraction of their bodies. They have no limbs or appendages, so they use their muscles to push and pull themselves forward. Earthworms, for example, have longitudinal and circular muscles in their body walls that contract and relax in a wave-like pattern, allowing them to move forward in a burrowing motion. Other types of worms may have different methods of movement, such as swimming or crawling.

Answer 2

Worms move by contracting and relaxing their muscles. They have long, cylindrical bodies with no legs or any other kind of appendages for movement. They have a hydrostatic skeleton that enables them to move in a wave-like manner. They use their muscles to push and pull against the soil or surface they are on, creating peristaltic waves that propel them forward. This movement helps them to burrow and wiggle through the soil or move along the surface. Some species of worms are also able to swim in water using undulating movements of their body.

Answer 3

WORMS MOVE USING A UNIQUE METHOD OF LOCOMOTION CALLED PERISTALSIS. PERISTALSIS IS A WAVE LIKE CONTRACTION AND RELAXATION OF THE MUSCLES ALONG THE BODY OF THE WORM, WHICH PROPELS IT FORWARD.
