An elephants trunk is part of their genetic make up (its in their DNA), their trunk grows when they are in their fetus stage. If you want to see, image search "elephant fetus" actually kind of neat.
Nobody is quite certain how the elephant got its trunk, though it's ancestors had very small trunks. It grew longer as the surroundings changed, and has become a very resourceful tool for grabbing food to eat.
