Because its being weighed down. When its wet it has more weight, so it pulls on your scalp. This pulls the hair and the roots, which makes it longer.

Wet hair is at its most vulnerable state when wet and can stretch up to 30% which is why it is best to detangle gently and to take into consideration when cutting wet hair.
