Scientists spot ‘superorganism’ in the wild for the first time — and it’s made of worms

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have observed nematodes, tiny worms, forming 'living towers' in natural settings for the first time. Researchers in Germany witnessed these worms cooperating to build towers on decaying fruit, a behavior previously only seen in labs. This collective action, where worms act as a 'superorganism,' helps them escape harsh conditions and seek new habitats.
