The following is my understanding of what happens: if I take a "two dimensional problem" e.g. I have $X$ as inputs and Y as the outcome and I add a feature $x^2$. This gives a problem an additional dimension and the linear fit on the $x$ and $y$ values define a line as well as the linear fit on $x^2$ and $y$ values and the two lines define a plane which is the best fit. Is this correct? How does this translate back to the 2 dimensional space? Does this somehow show up in two dimensions as curvy? How?
