The X’s are called “muted” or “scratched” strings.

In the time it took you to type and post this question, you could’ve done a search and found numerous web sites teaching you how to read tabs.
X usually means ‘do not play.’ but do the rest of the world a favor, and give up the guitar…you don’t have the drive or ambition to find answers for yourself.
