As mentioned @js bibra in his comment, your question is actually duplicate to column-and-row-padding-in-tables. Let me add one more possibilities given in answers to question in the link, where behind vertical paddings are suggested some improvements to table design

S column type defined in siunitx package,
etoolbox package for defining robust command for marking cells with boldface numbers
macro \makegapedcells for vertical padding, which is defined by \setcellgapes{...}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{makecell, multirow}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\newrobustcmd\B{\DeclareFontSeriesDefault[rm]{bf}{b}\bfseries}                          
\usepackage[skip=1ex, font=small, labelfont=bf]{caption}
\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[ht]

    \setcellgapes{5pt}
    \makegapedcells

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{2}

You can increase the height of each cell with the \arraystretch command. Pass the value to the argument, how much to increase the height.

Also, visit my youtube channel WPG for Latex tutorials.
