Answer:

Earthworms also take nutrients down through the soil profile, bringing them into closer contact with plant roots. ... This brings water and soluble nutrients down to plant roots. Burrowing also improves soil aeration (important for both plants and other organisms living in the soil) and enhances plant root penetration.
