The "Other"category contains, such as installer packages, cache files, IOS backups, app extensions, temporary files and goes like that. Most are those that is used by system, they created by the system to be stored somewhere else that not fit in any categories shown in storage info. If the size of the files in this category is not more than 50 GB, there is no need to worry. But this is valid if your ssd capacity is sufficient. If you need that space you either should use third part apps that show you the erasable storage or dive into your finder to find erasable content but be careful while doing that.
