Answer: Polar substance, it dissolves polar substances, also called hydrophilic.

Explanation:

As water is a Polar substance, it dissolves polar substances, also called hydrophilic. Nonpolar substances, like oils, are hydrophobic and do not mix with water. The water is cohesive.

That's why water wets polar materials like cotton and paper.
