Different cells have different shapes so that they can perform different functions. For example, red blood cells are shaped like a doughnut so that they can carry more hemoglobin. So cells can also extend so that they can absorb more nutrients by increasing their surface area to volume ratio. But to put it simply, the formation of odd shaped cells is just the result of evolution. Cells evolve to become more efficient so that they can better complete their job in the organism.
