In the present work, a new form of the logarithmic shape function is proposed for the linear $f(R,T)$ gravity, $f(R,T)=R+2lambda T$ where $lambda$ is an arbitrary coupling constant, in wormhole geometry. The desired logarithmic shape function accomplishes all necessary conditions for traversable and asymptotically flat wormholes. The obtained wormhole solutions are analyzed from the energy conditions for different values of $lambda$. It has been observed that our proposed shape function for the linear form of $f(R,T)$ gravity, represents the existence of exotic matter and non-exotic matter. Moreover, for $lambda=0$ i.e. for the general relativity case, the existence of exotic matter for the wormhole geometry has been confirmed. Further, the behaviour of the radial state parameter $omega_{r}$, the tangential state parameter $omega_{t}$ and the anisotropy parameter $triangle$ describing the geometry of the universe, has been presented for different values of $lambda$ chosen in $[-100,100]$.
