Today I heard in a lecture (some video on YouTube) that the determinant is linear as a function of each of the rows of the matrix.
I am not able to understand the above statement. I know that determinant is a special function which assign to each $x$ in $mathbb K^n times n$ a scalar. This is the intuitive idea. And this map is not linear as well. One way to see this is to consider the fact that determinant of $cA$ is $c^ndet(A)$
Can someone please explain what did the person mean by saying that the determinant is linear as a function of each of the rows of matrix?

If $r_1, ldots r_n$ are the rows of the matrix and $r_i = sa+tb$, where $s,t$ are scalars and $a,b$ are row vectors, then you have
$$detbeginpmatrixr_1 \ vdots \r_i \ vdots \ r_nendpmatrix = detbeginpmatrixr_1 \ vdots \ sa+tb \ vdots \ r_nendpmatrix = sdetbeginpmatrixr_1 \ vdots \ a \ vdots \ r_nendpmatrix + tdetbeginpmatrixr_1 \ vdots \ b \ vdots \ r_nendpmatrix$$
This holds for any row $i=1,ldots , n$. And similarly this also applies to columns.

Let $M$ be an $ntimes n$ matrix with rows $mathbfr_1,dots,mathbfr_n$. Then we may think of the determinant as a function of the rows
$$
det(M)=det(mathbfr_1,dots,mathbfr_n).
$$
To say that $det$ is a linear function of the rows means that if we scale a single row by $c$, the result is scaled by $c$; that is,
$$
det(mathbfr_1,dots,mathbfr_i-1,cmathbfr_i,mathbfr_i+1dotsmathbfr_n)=cdet(mathbfr_1,dots,mathbfr_n).
$$
Similarly if we fix all but one row (say the first), we obtain
$$
det(mathbfx+mathbfr_1,mathbfr_2,dots,mathbfr_n)=det(mathbfx,dots,mathbfr_n)+det(mathbfr_1,dots,mathbfr_n).
$$
Your mistake was that you scale all the rows at once; to be linear, you can only do things "one at a time"
