Acquired traits are those traits which are acquired by the individual during its life time. Acquired traits are due to changes in the life style, injury, loss of body parts, disuse of some body parts. These are the traits which occur in the somatic cells. Changes in the somatic cells are not passed on to the offspring belonging to next generation.

Why traits acquired during lifetime of an individual are not inherited?
Acquired characters bring about changes in somatic cells or organ (somatoplasm).
Somatoplasm doesn't take part in reproduction as germplasm is responsible for the formation of gametes.
Unless a change occurs in germ cells, it cannot be inherited.
