State whether the following statement is true or false: Fish and earthworm exchange gases during respiration in the same way.

(N/A) Step $1$: Identify the respiratory organs of both organisms. Fish respire using gills, which are specialized organs for extracting dissolved oxygen from water.
Step $2$: Identify the respiratory mechanism of an earthworm. Earthworms respire through their moist skin (cutaneous respiration) by absorbing oxygen directly from the environment.
Step $3$: Compare the mechanisms. Since the organs and processes are different, the statement is false.
