          This is all basic point-set stuff. $X cap Z$ is a $0$-dimensional manifold, so it is discrete. If both $X$ and $Z$ are closed then so is $X cap Z$. If, say, $X$ is compact, then $X cap Z subseteq X$. Hence $X cap Z$ is a closed subset of a compact space, so it is compact. Since it is compact and discrete, it is finite.

            If $X$ and $Z$ are closed and at least one of them is compact, then $Xcap Z$ is closed and compact (the intersection of closed sets is closed, and a closed subset of a compact set is compact). Then, the statement is that compact zero-dimensional submanifolds must be finite, which is clear. Zero-dimensional manifolds are discrete, and discrete compact sets are finite.
