No. Most animals called "worms" are invertibrates (they have no backbone). However, there are animals called "worms" (e.g. the slow worm) which do have a backbone (a slow worm is a lizard/reptile).

This confusion happens because "worms" is a generic term to describe animals that typically have a long cylindrical tube-like body and no legs, it is not a specific term that can be applied to any one animal type.
