Question about using netstat -ano

Hi there, I am not sure if it is okay to ask this question here. If not apologize in advance.

Currently following along a video series on YouTube(source if interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfvUxw8DHb0&t=344s ) to review after having my brain flooded with information past quarter. In the video he uses netstat -ano, so I thought I'd give it a go on my home PC.

I am noticing that there are several PIDs(using Windows10) when I look through the list from the cmd prompt under TCP that are 0.0.0.0: with some seemingly random port number. The foreign address is all 0.0.0.0:0 they also all have their state as "listening". Are these processes all waiting to possibly be connected to?

Under UDP their foreign address is simply "*:*" does this mean like wildcards with asterisk?

The PIDs all appear to be to fall under "system" or "local service". I do not really understand what is happening here??
