Mature proglottids are a sac of eggs surrounded by degenerated reproductive organs. While they do move around a bit after they pass through the anus and out into the world to continue the tapeworm's life cycle, they quickly harden and become immobile. They are not an organism as they do not eat or interact with their environment.
