how do extra mathematical dimensions work?

So I get the first 4 (height, width, depth and time) but I’ve heard lots of scientists mention that there’s up to 12 or 14 or so dimensions on top of that?

The number of dimensions is how many numbers are required to uniquely describe something. It’s not limited to physical dimensions. For example, if we could assign a number to the strength of each gene in DNA, we’d have thousands of dimensions to describe a person’s genetic makeup.
