ELI5: where do worms go in the winter?

I mean in cold weather climates where the ground freezes in the winter. Do worms just sorta freeze too and thaw in the spring? Do they all die and new ones hatch when the weather warms?

Edit: spelling, and yes I meant common earthworms. Thanks for the response!

If you're referring to earthworms, they simply go deeper into the ground.  Even in harsh winters the ground doesn't usually freeze more than ~~an inch or two~~ a few feet deep, so the worms just burrow below the frozen layer and wait for a few weeks until it thaws out again.

*Edit* corrected how deep the ground freezes. TIL, etc ...
