See the Embedding type definition here

Embedding is the return type that is an array of number arrays. There are an array of number arrays because of "contextual embedding" - contextual embeddings aim to capture the meaning of a word or phrase in the context of the surrounding words. This is important because the meaning of a word can change depending on the context in which it is used. For example, the word "bank" could refer to a financial institution, or the edge of a river.
