A spell is put into play from the stack under the control of the spell's controller (for permanents) or is put into its owner's graveyard from the stack (for instants and sorceries) as the final step of the spell's resolution. An ability is removed from the stack and ceases to exist as the final step of its resolution.

413.2i.

A spell is put into play from the stack under the control of the spell's controller (for permanents) or is put into its owner's graveyard from the stack (for instants and sorceries) as the final step of the spell's resolution. An ability is removed from the stack and ceases to exist as the final step of its resolution. If a permanent spell resolves but its controller can't put it into play, that player puts it into its owner's graveyard.

Example: Worms of the Earth says "If a land would come into play, instead it doesn't." Clone says "As Clone comes into play, you may choose a creature in play. If you do, Clone comes into play as a copy of that creature." If a player plays Clone and chooses to copy Dryad Arbor (a land creature) while Worms of the Earth is in play, Clone can't come into play from the stack. It's put into its owner's graveyard.
