Earthworms possess a network of excretory organs called nephridia. Nephridia filter waste materials, excess water, and metabolic by-products from the coelomic fluid. These waste products are then transported through tubules and excreted through pores located on the surface of the body. Nephridia also play a role in maintaining osmotic balance within the earthworm's body.
