Perhaps that is how she eats, but its important to note that the rest of her is not "just" a shell. It does have eyes, teeth, etc. and the humanoid part cannot detach herself from the shell. Hence why the profile notes the humanoid part is the "main body," rather than the "real body." What is meant specifically by main body isn't entirely clear, so we can't be sure how much of the worm's bodily functions are handled entirely by that part (though reproduction is an easy assumption, plus talking and thinking).

I've seen speculation that sandworms could have a large digestive system that simply uses a tube underneath the living area space to pass food to the stomach and other organs that are packed toward the bakc end of the worm.
