When worms digest organic matter, whether it’s in the ground or in your compost bin, they provide a second layer of decomposition in addition to bacteria and fungus that makes nutrients from the material even more easily available to plants, as well as adding some of their own microbiome’s organisms and nutrients.
They are particularly useful for potted plants because the soil isn’t naturally turned over and refreshed the way it is in the ground (and we wouldn’t want to try to support a whole soil ecosystem inside of our homes anyway!) Plant parents have to replenish the nutrients in the pots every once in a while because plants absorb and use up the soil’s nutrients over time. Worm castings are worm manure, collected to be used as fertilizer for all kinds of growing applications.
