Choose whether the given statement is true or false.

Earthworms drink water through their mouths. 

The given statement is false.

Earthworms are segmented, soft-bodied invertebrates found in soil. 

Water is not consumed by earthworms through their mouths, but they have moist, slimy skin that allows them to move through the soil while also keeping their bodies moist. They also rely on moist skin to exchange gases during respiration and to absorb nutrients from the soil.

Earthworms, unlike other animals, do not need to drink water because of their ability to absorb moisture directly through their skin. Instead, they get their moisture from the soil and the organic matter they eat.
