meaning of the tags in DKIM signature

When setting up DMARC, we have to set up DKIM first. Google Workspace makes it easy. But I was curious to know what exactly the tags mean in the DKIM header. From
https://help.returnpath.com/hc/en-us/articles/222438487-DKIM-signature-header-detail
v = version
a = algorithm of the hash
h = hash
s = selector record name in DNS
d = domain used with the selector s
b = hash data (body)
bh = computed hash of the message body
h = list of headers used in the hash algorithm

t = timestamp of the hash
x = expiry time of signature

c = canonicalization algorithm in case mail server makes minor changes
i = identity of user or agent
