This is not the definition. The source of your confusion might be that the simplest solution to the Einstein field equations that contains a black hole (called Schwarzschild solution[0]), also contains a white hole and a separate, let's say, "universe" when considering its so-called maximally extended[1] solution. The two universes (region I and III in the diagram in [1]) are separated by the black hole and the white hole (region II and IV in the diagram in [1]) and there's only an "infinitesimally small" connection between them, called an Einstein-Rosen bridge[2], which is usually considered to be the simplest example of a (non-traversable) wormhole.
People have speculated that on the "other side" of a black hole there's a white hole ejecting the matter swallowed by the black hole into another universe (which would kinda be a wormhole) but this is pure speculation.
