nope, it was just used as an easier way to "kill" It.. even then It may not of fully died but that's really something only Stephen King knows for sure.

basically Pennywise is just one of the infinite forms It can take.. think of it like Gozer from Ghostbusters.. it takes any form it wants.. Pennywise the Clown was its preferred form for messing with children.. it also mimicked the wolf-man and when It attacked the security guard it manifested as a dog-headed man.. It pretty is a god.. an evil god.

There's a few obvious confusing things in the story (like how It was killed, despite being an ancient god-demon) but that's Stephen King, sadly.. good writer but some plot will never make sense.
