Worms do not need a skeleton as, unlike many animals of the same build, they interact with the environment differently. Worms have no need for a skeleton as they mostlly live in the earth. Therefore through everlution have lost the chemical, Phyniside, that "orders" the new cells of the organism to "become" part of the skeleton.
