I have a question if I may, what is the difference between a worm and not being a worm?

  wormable generally means that from one infected computer you can infect another computer with no human interaction. In general, not much is wormable across the internet anymore due to most devices being behind NAT. Within many companies, there are very few firewalls, so with a wormable exploit any attacker who is running malware on one computer would be able to infect most/all other computers.

  Worms will often take down a large network from exponential growth. Upside is a non-wormable bug won’t do that, but you need to prevent and look for exploitation. This is tough as print is a dumpster fire in general, and who knows what’s lurking.
