Answer:

worms like to bury tunnels underground, so when they hear the 'pit pat' of the rain, they try to go closer to the rain so that they can make better tunnels faster.

My opinion is that all animals have feelings, depending on the size of their brain. You might think this is hilarious but, I think worms know that rain can help them move faster to make tunnels, but since they have such a small brain, they think they should make tunnels above ground where water is soaking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Have you ever seen a worm in puddles? Well, its because they think its easier to build in water. Its hilarious I know.

I hope this helped!

On the surface, they have a lot more mobility.

Earthworms must remain moist, which is an issue.

Usually, if they were above ground, they would start to dehydrate. However, when it rains, the surface is sufficiently damp for worms to survive and maintain their moisture levels.
