The most common type of worm (tapeworm) is transferred through fleas. The cat has to ingest an infected flea. Other worms can be picked up through eating rodents, raw meat etc., or can be passed on from the parent while still in the womb.

Cats and dogs contact intestinal worms from chewing fleas that are infected. So, it's important to keep the fleas under control.
