No, they do not feed on plant roots. It is a very good idea to put worms in a flower pot. They will dig holes in the soil to let the plant roots breathe. Or thats what I was told. I always put worms in all the soil i have. i hope i helped

as far as i know worms only eat decaying matter so no they shouldnt eat your plants roots and may actually help your plants by providing fertilizer

That sounds logical but will the worms stay in the flower pot?
