2. The earthworm is a slimy creature/ An earthworm is a slimy creature. (Either is fine.)
3. ("The" is optional here) Roots penetrate into the soil and abosrb water for the plant. (This sentence would be appropriate if you were continuing to discribe a plant. If it is the first time the plant was mentioned, you might want to change the sentence to "A plant's roots penetrate into the soil and absord water.")

Answer 3
