Any living organism, in this case 'worms', are all organic in nature. The basis of calling them organic is presence of life in them and if consider it chemically, then they have organic compounds as their constituent building blocks. This is the reason they are called organic.
There are twotypes of compounds. Organic compounds contains C and H atoms.
Propane contains three carbon atoms (the organic compounds are molecules containg carbon atoms C) and it is even biochemically produced by some bacteria.
carbon and hydrgen atom (Expansion): Organic chemistry is the study of organic compounds. An organic compound is any compound that contains at least one carbon atom, with the exception of several types of molecules including CO and CO^2, which are technically inorganic.
Methane, propane, ethene, ethyne, ethane, propyne, propene, octane, pentane pentyne are molecules that contain carbon. Diamond, fullerenes, graphite, and nanotubes are substances that are pure carbon.
For example organic compounds have covalent bonds.

An organic molecule contains carbon, whereas an inorganic molecule does not.

because organic compounds are big size molecules
Methane, propane, ethene, ethyne, ethane, propyne, propene, octane, pentane pentyne are molecules that contain carbon. Diamond, fullerenes, graphite, and nanotubes are substances that are pure carbon.
They are termed organic compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons and they are a subset of organic compounds.
Organic molecules are molecules that contain hydrogen and carbon. Macromolecules are considered to be organic compounds because they are made up of many carbon and hydrogen atoms put together.
