The character "它" also looks like the shape of a worm. Actually it was created by picturing a big worm-"a snake". Today, another word “蛇” was created to refer to "snake". Then the character "它" was  used to refer to "it" and it has become the predominant usage today.

Useful Phrase:
它们 (tā men)  they (only for inanimate objects)
