Can worms see?
No, worms are a very primitive creature. They do not have eyes and therefore, cannot “see”. They are, however, “photophobic”, which literally means “afraid of light”. Worms are nto actuall afraid of light, but avoid it because light usually indicates the presence of the hot sun, which can dry out, overheat, and kill a worm. Sensory cells in the worms skin, which are especially concentrated in their front ends, allow them to “see” light and retract back into the moist, cool earth.
