That's called leggy growth. It happens when plants aren't getting enough light. Once it happens, the plant will always be like that, but giving leggy seedlings some wind (start with a gentle breeze and gradually increase) can help strengthen and thicken their stems. For future seed projects, make sure they get enough light when their baby leaves first grow in
