Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about redworms ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Redworms need dry surroundings for their survival.

  • Redworms, commonly known as Eisenia fetida, are a species of earthworm widely used in vermicomposting due to their ability to efficiently break down organic matter.

  • Redworms require moist environments to survive because they breathe through their skin, which must remain moist for gas exchange.

  • They do not have teeth; instead, they ingest soil and organic matter, and their food is ground in the gizzard.

  • Redworms can eat food equal to their own weight in a day.
