Detritivore

Captured underneath a pot of flowers in my front yard

 Worms are awfully hard to find in the summer, although when you don't want to find them, you see them squirming about everywhere. My cousin and I, dug a few holes in the yard until we found some under a pot of flowers. A worm though, is a detritivore, meaning an organism that uses organic waste as food. Worms are good detritivores in the soil because of their fertilizer, it helps the soil become more healthy and helps plants flourish.
