The term "metamorphosis" refers to a change in an animal's form that occurs during normal development after the embryonic stage. 

Animals that show indirect development i.e. have a larval stage in their life history undergo metamorphosis while those with direct development do not. 

The earthworm, unlike the moth (insect), starfish (echinoderm), and mussel (mollusc), lacks a larval stage and thus, does not undergo metamorphosis during its life cycle.
