In this study, we investigate a (3+1)-dimensional KP equation, which is widely used to model the behavior of nonlinear waves in plasma physics and fluid mechanics. First, the multi-soliton solutions of the equation are derived using the Hirota bilinear method. Based on the multi-soliton solutions, heterotypic soliton is obtained by setting the partial dispersion coefficient to zero. Under the complex conjugation of the parameters, high-order breather waves are derived. Additionally, the M-lump wave solutions of the equation are derived by applying the long-wave limit. To gain a deeper understanding of its physical dynamics, we conducted numerical simulations to simulate various characteristics of M-lump waves during their propagation, including their peaks, troughs, propagation velocities, and propagation trajectories. Afterward, by combining the long-wave limit with the complex conjugation of the parameters, we discuss three types of multi-wave interaction phenomena described by this equation and illustrate the collision process between waves in graphical form.
