Hey friend here is your answer:

By the same token, Lamarck believed that disuse would cause a trait to become reduced. The wings of penguins, for example, would be smaller than those of other birds because penguins do not use them to fly.

Hope this helps !!

Question:

Why penguins have short wings according to Lamarck?

Answer:

Lamarck believed that disuse can make a body part become smaller or reduced. That is, if one does not use a body part for a long time, the later adaptations of that animal is likely to have a reduced form of that body part.

This is the same case with the penguin.

A penguin does not fly, therefore the wings of the penguins  would be smaller than those of other birds.
