Suppose that we have two finite geberated vector spaces $V$ and $S$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$. Let $\phi:V \rightarrow S$ a function. What does it mean that $\phi$ is an embedding?

$\phi$ is a vector-space homomorphism which is injective. That is, $\phi$ gives us a way of viewing elements of $V$ as elements of $S$.
