  • In a mature earthworm, the segments 14-16 are covered with a dark band of glandular tissue called clitellum.
  • Therefore, the body of the earthworm can be divided into pre-clitellar, clitellar and post-clitellar regions.
  • Clitellum can be defined as the think and non-segmented region towards the head that secretes a viscid sac in which the eggs are deposited. 
  • Hence, the main function of the clitellum is to store the eggs of the earthworm.
  • The clitellum is a part of the reproductive system.
  • It is visible when the earthworm is sexually active.
