To spread their weight out over the sand, which helps to prevent them from sinking in to it. Camels are adapted to walk long distances in deserts, hence, they have evolved to form large, broad, flat feet. More surface area means less pressure exerted on that surface, and vice-versa as the pressure is distributed on a large area.
