No, Saturn is known to have more moons than Jupiter, though most of these are tiny moonlets orbiting in Saturn's rings.

The planet Jupiter, which is the largest planet in the solar system, also has the most moons (which is logical, because the large size of Jupiter means that it also has the strongest gravitational field, and can therefore attract satellites more strongly).

More massive planets have more satellites why?

More massive planets have more gravitational pull. If a satellite were to pass by Earth and Jupiter at the same distance from each planet, the satellite would be more attracted to start orbiting Jupiter because of its pull. The more massive a planet is the more likely it is to get a satellite to orbit it.
