North, South, East, and West are called the "Cardinal Direction" because they are not only the main directions, but other directions like North-East, South-East, etc are based off of them.

It's very similar to the "Cardinal Colors" (aka: Primary Colors) in art. Those are Red, Yellow, and Blue, but every other color is based off of those 3.

I hope this helps!
