It has to do with the the way your fingers are made. The tips of fingers and toes are covered by a tough, thick layer of skin. When they are soaked for a prolonged period it absorbs water and expands. However, there is no room for this expansion on fingers and toes, so the skin buckles and you get wrinkles.

Hands prune within 5 minutes in the shower?
Hands prune in the shower due to a process called osmosis, where water enters the outer layer of skin, causing it to swell and wrinkle. This reaction is believed to enhance grip on wet surfaces, an evolutionary adaptation. The effect typically occurs within minutes of exposure to water and is temporary, with hands returning to their normal state shortly after drying.
