In this specification document for Material Design in Android, it is written,

All components align to an 8dp square baseline grid. Type aligns
to a 4dp baseline grid. Iconography in toolbars align to a 4dp
square baseline grid.

Why have they used the dp square unit for the baseline grid for UI components and iconography, but the dp unit for the type?

Type flows and lines break which cannot really defined by a square, so type doesn't really fit into a grid. But take a look at baseline grid handling in Material Design:
