(I’m not advocating violence against worms. I like and protect them, they’re good for my garden. This question has been bugging me for a while and it doesn’t make sense. )

not an earthworm, but Flatworms. flatworms belong to platyhelminthes phylum, and earthworms are annelids.

the free-living flatworms can be cut in to pieces and sitll regenerate full bodies, but you cant cut it too small though. this is why some of them are invasive species, very hard to get rid of.

you definitely dont want flatworms in you gardens though, they hunt earthworms and are toxic, and invasive.
