The actual ELI5 answer: the same reason you understand 4803 as 4803 and not 48 and 3.
1. Separators: in this case, spaces or special sequences between words
2. Conventions: we use byte-sized words, so each 8 bits is a separate word
Of course, these have to be agreed upon by the sender and receiver.
