The worms help the soil, thus helping plants. They eat food that you throw out, and their body waste helps the soil. They break down minerals into forms that are more easily used by plants. Small burrowing animals sometimes eat things that might damage plant roots, which helps plants too. This affects us because it makes our food from the plants healthier.

Earthworms eat leaves and grass. They dig holes in the ground. They let air circulate under the ground.

Instead the earthworms start the leaves decomposing and on their way to making new soil. The earthworms also dig tunnels in the ground. This lets the roots of plants breathe. The roots of plants have difficulty breathing in hard packed soil. Earthworms make plants possible.
