Roundworms have a digestive system that is like a tube. They are open in both ends. First, the food gets broken down. Second, the digested food gets absorbed into the animals body and then wastes are eliminated.

Roundworms obtain nutrients by feeding on organic matter present in their environment. They have a simple digestive system that helps them break down and absorb nutrients from the food they consume. Some roundworms are parasitic and obtain nutrients by feeding off their host organism.

The worm doesnt exactly digest food. It goes through the soil to get nutrients and the nutrients sit on the skin of the worm it absorbs into the worm and that's how it eats food. That's why worms are good for the soil. They have nutrients in them and take in new nutrients and release old nutrients which make the soil have nutrients as the worm goes through.
