释义

A worm is a small, long, soft animal with no legs. It often lives in soil, and some kinds can also live in the body and cause disease.

用法与细微差别

Often used for creatures in soil or fishing bait: 'earthworm' is the common specific word. In everyday speech, 'worm' can also mean a parasitic worm in the body. Don't confuse it with 'caterpillar', which becomes a butterfly or moth.
