True
Earthworms are hermaphrodites with both male and female organs. Cutting one in two does not create two worms; the front part may regrow, but the rear usually dies. It's not a cloning trick.
Infact verdict: True (95/100).
The claims about earthworms are largely supported by scientific evidence. Earthworms are indeed hermaphrodites, and cutting them in half does not result in two living worms; typically, only the front part can regenerate. Some species can regrow missing sections, but this is not universal. The rear part usually dies due to lack of vital organs. Regeneration is a biological process, not cloning.

True
Science
Cutting an earthworm in two does not normally create two worms.
Evidence from multiple reliable sources indicates that cutting an earthworm in half usually results in only one surviving worm, as only the anterior part can regenerate. The posterior part typically dies.

The rear part of a cut earthworm usually dies.
The rear part of a cut earthworm typically dies due to the absence of vital organs and the nervous system. This is supported by multiple reliable sources.
