All organic matter that can be broken down into simpler compounds such as water, carbon dioxide, etc. by earthworms and microorganisms is known as biodegradable waste. Such waste is converted into compost by earthworms. 

Fruit peels, animal bones, and paper bags are all examples of biodegradable waste and can be converted to compost by earthworms.

However, earthworms cannot convert plastic bags into compost since plastic is a non-biodegradable material.
