It's a change that Peter Jackson made from the books, but one that makes sense as an adaptational choice. In the book, the Uruk-hai were created through, essentially, an industrial eugenics program to be frontline soldiers. Having them be spawned out of sacs in an underground factory captures how cold and inhuman an act their creation was in a way that is easier to express in a visual medium.
