What is this piece named and is there a non-destructive way to remove it? (slrpnk.net)

Hello, I'm trying to replace the power cord of an air fryer and there are these white caps that connect each leads. I would like to know if they can be removed without being destroyed, I quickly tried with flat pliers but it did no budge.

~~Aren't those twist nuts? You unscrew it and the wires seperate?~~

Never mind that looks like it has been crimped.

It looks crimped. If OP wants to preserve the length of the wires they will need to cut away the plastic and pry the crimped interior open.
