Components' height cannot be manipulated

I am using Materialize CSS to create a front end mockup where I found that the height of the coponent tabs, cannot be altered.

Inside the codepen is an simple example where I try to make the tab components inside tabs any size I want. The idea is to control those elements’ sizes so that I can style it better. Make the fonts bigger and such. Or I can straight up put other content into those tabcomponent.

Inside the codepen you can see the 1st issue I am facing is :

I cannot get the tab component to fill up its parent tabs.

Here is the source code of materialize.CSS if it helps.

(function($, anim) {
  'use strict';

  let _defaults = {
    duration: 300,
    onShow: null,
    swipeable: false,
    responsiveThreshold: Infinity // breakpoint for swipeable
  };
