Worth can be used as a noun or in the compound verb to be worth.
As a noun means: value or merit, for example: "The worth of that house has been reduced by the construction noise" or "This article about women's rights has a lot of worth".
In the compound verb "to be worth" that means equal in value to... for example "it's worth a lot of money"
Worthy is an adjetive that means deserving or valuable. For instance: "The new CEO is a worthy successor to the man who ran our company so successfully for so many years." or " Saving the orangutans from extinction is a worthy cause"
