Its because of how the tongue develops.
The front(anterior) 2/3rd of tongue develops from two lingual swellings..ie on on each side that consequently fuse. thats the reason, however the back( posterior)1/3 develops from one swelling and not to, closely observe this there wont be any split in the back part!
