When fingers soak in water, the outer layer of skin absorbs it and swells. This causes the skin to wrinkle as the swollen skin expands beyond its normal capacity. The wrinkles help improve grip on wet objects by channeling the water away.

When your fingers are in water for a long time, the outer layer of skin absorbs water and swells up. This causes the skin to wrinkle because of osmosis, a process where water moves into cells to balance out the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cells.
Yes, fingers and toes can wrinkle after prolonged exposure to seawater due to the outer layer of the skin absorbing water. This wrinkling is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation that helps improve grip on wet surfaces.
After soaking beans for four days, the most common microorganisms that may be present in the water include bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and molds. These microorganisms can thrive in the warm and moist environment provided by the soaking water and are naturally occurring in the environment and on the beans themselves. It is important to discard the soaking water and rinse the beans thoroughly before cooking to remove any potential contaminants.
The outermost layer of the skin swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin underneath, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. However, new research is investigating the role of digital vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) of water immersion wrinkling of the skin.

Wrinkled fingers, often experienced after prolonged exposure to water, occur due to a physiological response that helps improve grip in wet conditions. The skin on the fingertips and palms has a higher density of nerve endings and blood vessels, which causes the blood vessels to constrict when submerged in water, leading to the wrinkled appearance. This adaptation is thought to enhance our ability to handle objects in slippery environments.

You have natural oils on your skin that at first repels the water. But if you are in the water long enough, the oils disappear and leave your fingers and toes wrinkled. They have absorbed water but it will go away soon after you dry.
Pruney or wrinkled skin due to prolonged exposure to water is often referred to as "pruney fingers" or "waterlogged skin." This temporary condition is caused by the outer layer of skin absorbing water and swelling, which then causes the skin to wrinkle or pucker.
I think raisins look different after soaking in water because it soaks up all the moisture. Think about when you go to the pool and swim for a long time. Doesnt your skin get wrinkled? Its the same thing with the raisins.
because of the water soaking into your skin
The same reason why your fingers get wrinkled if you spend too much time with them exposed to water.
