Very much so! Compared to unicellular (meaning made of only one cell) organisms, like bacteria, archea, and eukaryotes, worms have millions of cells (multicellular means many cells). Does that make sense?
Think of it this way; anything that has any specialized organs, like eyes, ears, a brain--is multicellular. Of course worms can be somewhat complex, like the earthworm, to extremely simple, like nematodes, but even they have a somewhat elaborate digestive system.
One other thing, you will often hear the term "ringworm." This is not a worm, it is only called so because it makes a pattern that looks like a worm. It is actually caused by a unicellular fungus.

Yes, worms are multicellular.
All animals are multicellular. That's one of the characteristics of the animal kingdom.

yes, they are because they actually have some physiological process like digestion etc. unicellular species can include simple prokaryotes , like bacteria (dont get me wrong, bacteria have processes too but worms are actually animals)

what makes you think they are unicellular?
