Per the documentation, OpenID Connect & OAuth 2.0 API | Okta Developer, this is the description of the state parameter.

state
A value to be returned in the token. The client application can use it to remember the state of its interaction with the end user at the time of the authentication call. It can contain alphanumeric, comma, period, underscore, and hyphen characters.

It just needs to be a string which is restricted to those characters. You can generate one with a random string generator or UUID generator.
