Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: An earthworm turns away from light. Characteristic referred in this statement is Photophobia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Phototaxis is a kind of taxis, or locomotory movement, that occurs when a whole organism moves towards or away from a stimulus of light.
Detailed explanation-3: -Earthworms don’t have eyes like we do. Instead, they can sense light through their skin. These natural light sensors let the earthworms know when they are getting too close to a bright light, such as the sun. Earthworms try to stay out of sunlight because the heat from the sun dries out their skin.
Detailed explanation-4: -Even though worms don’t have eyes, they can sense light, especially at their anterior (front end). They move away from light and will become paralyzed if exposed to light for too long (approximately one hour). If a worm’s skin dries out, it will die.
