  • The given statement is true.
  • Even in the absence of lungs or gills, the earthworms can breathe on land. They breathe through their skin through a process known as cutaneous respiration. It is a very effective mechanism for the exchange of gases with their surroundings. The moist, thin skin is highly vascularised which allows the easy diffusion of the gases on the skin surface.
