Think of the pixels like a really long string of Christmas lights. They’re all connected to each other, so when they’re “plugged into the wall” they all light up.

They form a square because they’re essentially one loooooong line of Christmas lights that someone walked all across their yard so it looked like the entire yard was lit up. (But it’s just one long string.)
