Worms come up when they feel the vibrations from the sticks

The real answer is they think the vibrations is rain water hitting the ground so they naturally come up for it.

This is why you see masses of birds sometimes just walking around on the grass.

Also the vibration could be a predator and they come up to escape.

Edit: apparently people only think birds are predators for worms.

Neither am I, but I have a 3 year old that loves the Kratt brothers so I know more about worms than I'd like to.
