It can depending on the medium.
No waves do not transfer matter but it transfers only the energy
transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter
A disturbance in matter that caries energy from 1 place to another.
A sound wave or an ocean wave, for example

MEDIUM
That is basically the description of a WAVE.
Mechanical waves
No, they do not. A wave transfers energy but the matter does not move forward with the wave.
If the particles themselves do not move, then you have no wave, and nothing is transferred.If the particles are free to move about their rest positions, then you can have a wave, andit can transfer energy from place to place.
