It means it is growing sideways under the gum like a tusk rather than upwards.

they are not growing up...they are growing sideways towards your other molars

Long ago, humans used to almost lose teeth by 20 years old. We evolved to lose teeth and evolved to have replacement (wisdom) teeth. If else, starvation by early years. An impacted wisdom teeth occurs likely because people choose to keep their teeth into the 20s and there is insufficient room in the jaw. Impacted wisdoms try to move out in the 20s but are blocked by the extra teeth that we used to lose but retained. To relieve pain a medical procedure may be needed.

that your wisdom tooth have no room and remain inside the bone ,it can get infected.

It means that something is impeding the normal eruption of the tooth-either bone or another tooth.

it means the wisdom is unable to erupt in an upright position and is lying in a horizontal or semi horizontal position in to the the molar tooth infront, they tend not to cause any problems unless it is trying to erupt. lots of people have impacted wisdoms and are unaware they have them
