space and time are linked.

to paraphrase neil degrasse tyson: “when you ask someone to meet at your house, they’ll ask ‘what time’. If you ask someone to meet you at 5pm, they’ll ask ‘where'”

since space and time are linked, this “spacetime” can be thought of as one “fabric”. If you warp the fabric via gravitational effects then you are warping space *and* time
