The name "worm" is often carelessly applied to various crawling things in general. It is properly applied, however, only to segmented animals without jointed appendages. Although a caterpillar crawls, it is not a worm for several reasons. It has six jointed legs, and it is not a developed animal, but only an early stage in the life of a moth or butterfly. A "grubworm" also has jointed legs (Fig. 167). It does not remain a grub, but in the adult stage is a beetle. A worm never develops into another animal in the latter part of its life; its setæ are not jointed.

Fig. 72.—Food Tube of earthworm. (Top view.)
The Food Tube.—The earthworm has no teeth, and the food tube, as might be inferred from the form of the body, is simple and straight. On account of slight variation in size and structure, its parts are named the pharynx (muscular), gullet, crop, gizzard (muscular), and the long intestine extending through the last three fourths of its body (Fig. 72). The functions of the parts of the food tube are indicated by their names.
