Detailed explanation-1: -He reasons that since all men are born from women and woods can’t move, he is invincible.
Detailed explanation-2: -The quote means that nobody born from a woman can ever kill Macbeth. Since Macduff is able to kill him, the quote suggests that women birthing via Cesarean sections are not mothers in the same way as mothers birthing naturally, and that their babies are not born to them.
Detailed explanation-3: -The witches conjure up three apparitions. First a floating head appears and tells Macbeth to beware of Macduff. Next, a bloody child appears. The child says that “no man of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth” (lines 9596).
Detailed explanation-4: -“The power of man, for none of women born/ Shall harm Macbeth” (4.1. 91-92). The Second Apparition tells Macbeth that nobody born of women can harm him. Macbeth then starts to wonder why he should worry about Macduff, and starts to let his guard down.
Detailed explanation-5: -The witches tell Macbeth that he will become king, that no man born of woman can defeat him, and that he will not be vanquished until Birnam Wood should come to Dunsinane, all of which turns out to be true.
