As I noted in my original response, the answer should be "plain" to
see.

Well put. Now ... borrowing that...

What is to the fourth dimension
as a point is to the first dimension,
as a line is to the second dimension and
as a plain is to the third dimension?

Well, first, be aware that I was punning. The word for the mathematical
object is "plane", which happens to be pronounced just like "plain".

Anyway, the answer to your question above is (three-dimensional) space.
