The head of the worm may survive and regenerate its tail if the animal is cut behind the clitellum. But the original tail of the worm will not be able to grow a new head (or the rest of its vital organs), and will instead die.
May this helps you

In this question, we are asked to talk about how long a worm can survive if it gets cut in half.
- If the animal is sliced behind the clitellum, the worm's head may survive and grow a new tail.
- However, the original tail of the worm will eventually die because it will be unable to develop a new head (or the rest of its important organs).
- If an earthworm is split in half crosswise, it will regenerate into two new worms.
- The 1,800 species of earthworms in the genus Lumbricals have a characteristic head and tail, even though they may not appear like it.
- A worm's head is always found on the end that is closest to the clitellum, a swelling band that surrounds the animal.
- An earthworm that is split in half won't produce two new worms.
- According to The Washington Post, if the animal is sliced behind the clitellum, the worm's head may live and rebuild its tail. However, the original tail of the worm will eventually die because it will be unable to develop a new head (or the rest of its important organs).
