Environmental Needs Of Earthworms

The environment provides an organism with everything it needs in order to live. Every type of organism has a different set of specific needs. For example, you can easily see how your needs are different from those of a goldfish or a tree. Despite these differences, however, all organisms have certain needs in common. Water, a source of energy, living space and a suitable climate are requirements of all living things. The type of environment in which a particular species lives is its habitat. In this lab you will explore the preferred habitat of earthworms, a type of annelid.
