Hypothesis: If earthworms are exposed to dry conditions, then they will exhibit increased burrowing behavior and emerge less frequently to the soil surface because they are seeking moisture to maintain their hydration and protect themselves from desiccation.
This suggests that external stimuli, such as humidity levels in their environment, significantly influence earthworm behavior by driving them to adapt their movements in response to adverse conditions.
