I suppose they could, but not for very long. Worms are soft bodied invertebrates that feed on decaying matter in the soil and they prefer damp, moist locations. They excrete a mucous to retain moisture that keeps their soft bodies from drying out, which is why they're so hard to pick up. If they were placed into dry soil, they could technically live for a while, but would likely dry up and die due to a lack of moisture.
