Many groups of worms reproduce asexually; meaning that a single individual has both the male and female reproductive parts. This is relevant because the "rix--net worm" referred to in the text in not an invertebrate, nor any kind of animal for that matter.
'Rix-net worm' refers to a worm-type code that infects a computer's software. Though similar to a virus, a worm is not considered one. A computer worm does not require any other programs to multiply and function. They are very damaging and capable of spreading to other systems.
