Please take the time to write coherent questions in the future, giving enough context for others to understand what you are talking about. We are not dogs that you throw some bones, you know? We are highly skilled software developers and you might want to express some respect for that by crafting a pleasant email.
As to your question, I have to guess here because you are so parsimonious with context: are you referring to Git for Windows' "Git Bash" entry in the start menu?
Assuming that this is what you meant, the explanation is simple: Git does not require wget to work. So we do not ship it with Git for Windows.
Side note: Git for Windows *does* ship with curl.exe, for historical reasons. You can probably use curl instead of wget for your use case.
Second side note: you obviously seek more than just Git for Windows, so why not use MSys2 (https://msys2.github.io/) which comes with a wget package you can install via pacman?

Ciao, Johannes
