A worm doesn't have a centralized nervous system, but a string of neurons and neuroblasts all down its front side. A centipede, by contrast, has a brain.

A centipede would be considered "more intelligent" than a worm, in that it is adapted to much more complex tasks: hunting and killing prey, controlling many legs, actively fleeing and protecting itself and so on.
