I happened to get my hands on a string theory book where its been said that the universe's fundamental particle i.e. the string, takes about ten dimensions for specifying itself under symmetry. What are those?

It depends on what theory are you useing, in theory of relativity there are only four dimensions $x^{\mu}$ but in another theory like general relativity there is a higher dimension which there is a constraint to eliminate the artifical 5th dimension (schwartzchild metric).
