Test No. errors/elem-8 "A Change of Heart", question 6

Don't be stupid - it's just not worthy it, you know why.

(a) stupid
(b) worthy
(c) know

Test No. errors/elem-8 "A Change of Heart", answer 6

Don't be stupid - it's just not worth it, you know why.

Correct entry: worth
The error was: (b) worthy

You have found the error but your entry is incorrect.
Don't be stupid - it's just not worthy it, you know why.
_________________________

"worth" and "worthy" are an adjective, so why this sentence use "worthy" in stead of "worth". I don't understand? They have the different meaning?
