Scientific name: Eisenia
Description
The Eisenia genus, often found in nutrient-rich soil, may seem like a simple dweller of the earth, but it is remarkable for its role in recycling organic material. These creatures play a crucial environmental role by breaking down decomposing matter, thus enriching the soil which in turn benefits agricultural productivity. Contrary to the belief that they eat plant roots, Eisenia species actually help plants grow by aerating the soil and facilitating nutrient absorption. Their understated presence belies their significant impact on ecosystem health and agricultural economies.
