Earthworm is an example of ______________feeder?

Correct answer: A. Detritus

  • A. Detritus
  • B. Fluid
  • C. Macrophageus
  • D. Filter

Explanation

Earthworms ingest soil and feed on decaying organic matter, called detritus, so they are detritus feeders. A fluid feeder takes liquid nutrients, while a filter feeder strains suspended particles from water; students may choose macrophageus because earthworms ingest relatively large particles, but detritus is the specific feeding category.
