Do worms have a dad

Worms, particularly earthworms, do not have a traditional father in the way many animals do. They are hermaphrodites, meaning each worm has both male and female reproductive organs. When two earthworms mate, they exchange sperm to fertilize their eggs, but they do not have distinct parental roles like in many other species. After mating, they create a cocoon for their fertilized eggs, which develop independently.
