földigilisztákat

Földigiliszta is the Hungarian word for earthworm. Earthworms are segmented invertebrates that belong to the phylum Annelida. They are commonly found in soil worldwide. Földigiliszták play a vital role in soil health and are often referred to as "nature's plows" due to their burrowing activity.

These creatures typically live in moist, dark environments, feeding on organic matter such as decaying leaves and plant roots. As they consume soil and organic material, they excrete nutrient-rich castings, which enrich the soil and improve its structure, aeration, and water retention. This process is crucial for plant growth and the overall health of terrestrial ecosystems.

Földigiliszták have elongated, cylindrical bodies divided into segments. They lack a skeleton and move using muscles and bristles called setae, which help them grip the soil. Their life cycle begins with eggs laid in a cocoon, from which young earthworms hatch and mature over time. Their presence is often an indicator of healthy soil.
