A worm is a common name given to a diverse group of invertebrate animals that have a long, soft body and no legs. There are about 4,400 species of worms, about half being earthworms. Animals which are commonly called worms include species of annelids, insects (their immature larva stage), and flatworms. Many marine and freshwater species, which are usually seen only by professional biologists, are recognized as "worms". Worms commonly are seen on the sidewalk after a rainstorm, and often die of drying out or being trampled on by humans.
