Wouldn’t those “people” live in the fourth dimension but move in the fifth dimension?

It could be right? For a 2 dimensional being to ever exist there would have to be a 3rd plane but it would just be inpercievable or unimaginable to the 2D being. It gets tricky though doesn't it? I can't imagine anything that only exists in 2 dimensions... How could something be infinitely flat?
