Worms can only stay on top of the ground for a short period of time, usually a few minutes to a few hours depending on the environmental conditions. They prefer to be in moist soil where they can burrow and feed. being on the surface for too long can leave them vulnerable to predators and dehydration.

Earthworm longevity is species dependent. Various specialists report that certain species have the potential to live 4-8 years. In protected culture conditions (no predators, ideal conditions) individuals of Allolobophora longa have been kept up to 10 1/4 years, Eisenia foetida for 4½ years and Lumbricus terrestris for 6 years.

Worms can normally live under water their entire life span. However, it depends on the species of the worm. For example, the earthworm can be under water forever, whereas, other species can only last an hour or so under water.
