An object is something that is controlled by another application. You copy an object to excel to display the object in the spreadsheet, but the underlying application comes up when you double-click to edit the contents of the object.
For example, a spreadsheet object can be brought into a word-processing document. Any time the spreadsheet object is updated in the original spreadsheet software, the object is automatically updated in the destination document.
An embedded object in a spreadsheet refers to content that is integrated directly within the spreadsheet file, rather than linked to an external source. This can include items like images, charts, or other documents (such as Word files or PDFs) that are inserted into the spreadsheet itself. These objects typically maintain their original formatting and functionality, allowing users to interact with them directly within the spreadsheet environment. This contrasts with linked objects, which pull data from external files and may not be editable within the spreadsheet.

The application used to edit the data in an embedded object typically depends on the type of object and the software it was created in. For example, if it’s an embedded Excel spreadsheet within a Word document, you can double-click the object to open and edit it in Excel. Similarly, for embedded images, you might use an image editing application like Photoshop or Paint. The editing process allows users to modify the embedded content directly within the host application.
Yes, a spreadsheet is an object. It is a noun... a "thing."
An embedded object is something that is stuck into another object. Embedded means that the object is usually not going to come out of the other object readily.
If it is linked then when the data in the spreadsheet is changed, that change will show in the Word document. If it is embedded, then changes in the spreadsheet will not have any effect on the figures in the Word document.
