So there are not routeable, that means they can not be passed through NAT or routers or over the internet.
Just to nitpick a little that is not precisely correct. /tom I agree, i should of said Not Routeable onto the internet.
That is what NAT does is change the request from the Lan (private address, non internet routeable) to the Wan (Internet Address, internet routeable) |

For years I ran a NAT router which had a private IP address on the WAN port. NAT changes between IPv4 on the WAN and IPv4 on the LAN. It doesn't know private from public.
