Are earthworms and cockroaches the same animal?

No. Earthworms are small medicinal animals belonging to the family Blattodea. Other names include earthworms, ground turtles, dustpan insects, earthworms, earthworms, stinging insects, etc. The adult earthworm is about 3.4 cm long and 2 cm wide. The body is oval, some earthworms have gray backs, some earthworms have white backs, flat up and down, brown-red chests, small heads hidden in the prothorax, a pair of antennae, and a pair of well-developed compound eyes. Chewing mouthparts, with transverse sections on the back, arranged in a shingle-like manner, 3 pairs of legs on the chest, 2 pairs of well-developed wings. The forewings are leathery, the hind wings are membranous and translucent, folded on the back, and have the ability to fly short distances, and can fly up to 5 to 6 meters from top to bottom, with a pair of tail whiskers. After mating, earthworms lay egg masses that resemble rice grains. They are 1 to 1.5 times larger than rice grains, about one centimeter long, and brown-red in color. There are longitudinal stripes on the surface of the egg mass. Each longitudinal stripe has a larva, arranged in two rows, and one egg mass contains 8 to 16 larvae. Cockroaches, scientifically known as Blattaria, belong to the order Blattaria, family Blattaria, class Insecta, kingdom Animalia. Cockroaches have a flat, oval body, long, filamentous antennae, and a leathery, shiny, black or brown body wall. The head is bent downward, and the tip of the mouthparts points backward, rather than forward or downward like most other insects. Males usually have two pairs of wings, while females are often wingless or have degenerate wings, with egg pods protruding from their bodies to carry the eggs. After the female excretes the egg pods, the nymphs hatch from the egg pods, initially white, and their bodies harden and turn brown after being exposed to the air. Adult cockroaches are large, with a wingspan of up to 12 centimeters (4.7 inches) for some species.
