The methods I am aware of for modifying vertical spacing in a table are renewcommand{arraystretch}{<length>} and setlength{extrarowheight}{<length>}. However, these commands affect the arrays inside the table as well.

Is there any command similar to setlength{tabcolsep}{10pt} but for row spacing?

This is the code for my table, and I'd like to increase the spacing between the matrices, as they look too close to each other.

    begin{table}[hbt!]

    centering

    begin{tabular}{ccc}

        hline

             Description & Symbol & Value\ hline

             State-Space Matrix & $A$ & $left(begin{array}{cccc} 0 & 0 & 1.0 & 0\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1.0\ 0 & 744.7 & -40.32 & 0\ 0 & -1152.0 & 40.32 & 0 end{array}right)$\

             State-Space Matrix & $B$ & $left(begin{array}{c} 0\ 0\ 61.63\ -61.63 end{array}right)$\

             State-Space Matrix & $C$ & $left(begin{array}{cccc} 1.0 & 0 & 0 & 0\ 0 & 1.0 & 0 & 0 end{array}right)$\

             State-Space Matrix & $D$ & $left(begin{array}{c} 0\ 0 end{array}right)$\

             Open-loop Poles & $OL$ & $left(begin{array}{cccc} 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\ 0 & -9.187+25.78{}mathrm{i} & 0 & 0\ 0 & 0 & -9.187-25.78{}mathrm{i} & 0\ 0 & 0 & 0 & -21.95 end{array}right)$\

        hline

    end{tabular}

end{table}

A tabstackengine approach.
