It is cubed because each of the 3 dimensions is expanding at the same
rate.

Space has a dimensional direction grid. There are two directions for
each dimension. Up and down direction for the first dimension lets
say. Right and left for the second dimension lets say and then front
and back directions in the third dimension. All dimensions are alike.
They all have two directions in space. And you can't tell them apart.
The dimensional grid is another way of looking at space. If you take
whole space we see infinte directions or what is called degrees of
freedom.
