On Minecraft I noticed that zombies and zombie variants can pick up almost ANY items. Here are some of the items I know they can pick up:
Pickaxes
Eggs
Sticks
Axes
Hoes
Saplings
String
Lanterns
Rotten flesh
Gunpowder
Various different blocks
Slimeballs
This only started to happen after the Nether Update. This might be intended, but I do not know. I will try to reproduce this in 1.16.40 and 1.16.50.

This is intended, see MCPE-93224

The report you have submitted is working as intended. As stated in the 1.16.0 release changelog "Mobs now pick up items and equip armor."
Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.

This is expected behaviour; a certain % of zombies pickup items, which increases with difficulty
