Best Answer: Worms aren't insects but are animals, just as insects are animals. Quite what worms are would depend upon which worms you're asking about. While all worms are certainly invertebrates, that information isn't very interesting. Insects are invertebrates as well, as are jelly fish, octopussies, sponges, coral, spiders... Update.
There are also mollusk 'worms', or worms from the Cnidaria phylum (jellyfish). As for insects, many larvae have the body shape of a worm. Since the term is solely based on body features, I think that any animal that looks like a worm, IS a worm, in the language of the general public. I don't think that non-animal species with a worm-like shape are still being called 'worms'.
