Children are born with twelve fingers due to a condition known as polydactyly, which is characterized by the presence of extra fingers or toes. This genetic anomaly can occur due to mutations during fetal development, often inherited from one or both parents. While polydactyly can occur in isolation, it may also be associated with other genetic syndromes. Most extra digits are non-functional and may require surgical removal for cosmetic or functional reasons.
