Hey,

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but dynamic_sidebar is a WordPress function which means that we didn't make this function ourselves. It's in WordPress' core and we just have to call it when we want to use it. The function is used to display the markup of sidebars.

For further informations about this function take a look at the article in the WordPress codex.

I hope that helps, if you have further questions feel free to ask! :)
