Because they need to peck into the trees
It helps them to get bugs from trees
Woodpeckers use their strong, chisel-like beaks to drill into tree bark and wood in search of insects, larvae, and sap. Their beaks are adapted for pecking at high speeds and with great force, allowing them to create holes and extract food. Additionally, woodpeckers use their beaks to create nesting cavities and communicate with other woodpeckers through drumming sounds. The shape and strength of their beaks are vital for their survival in their arboreal habitats.
Woodpeckers tap their beaks in bark

Their beaks are designed to be able to peck insects out of tree bark.
No, woodpeckers are not herbivores. They are omnivores, meaning they eat a combination of insects, fruits, nuts, and occasionally sap. Woodpeckers use their strong beaks to peck at trees in search of insects to eat.
Well, hummingbirds have long thin beaks for their size. They are from the family Trochilidae which is categorized of different sorts of hummingbirds. Another bird with long beaks are woodpeckers, to get worms.
Even though they have long mouths that look like "beaks", they are not considered "beaks".
Downy woodpeckers typically hunt for food alone rather than in groups. These small woodpeckers forage on trees and shrubs, using their strong beaks to excavate insects and larvae from the bark. While they may occasionally be seen in mixed-species flocks during migration, their foraging behavior is primarily solitary.
With evolution the beaks transformed into long beaks for eating bugs and short beaks for eating seeds

Birds beaks are designed for what they eat and where they live.
