Google and Bing are crawling non-existing pages and even though they don't exist, the links get directed to index page. Google even indexed one of these links causing duplicate content.

Link format:
example.com?parameter=parameter_value

I am running a Wordpress website and this is the default .htaccess file. What should I change here?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
