What is mean by the solibility of a substance?

If you mean solubility, it refers to the ability for the substance to dissolve in water (or ethanol). It tells you how much of the solid is able to dissolve under RTP (room temperature and pressure). I am not too sure what it is useful for (maybe crystallization of some sorts but that's what I can tell).

Why is it significant to know whether a solution is saturated or u nsaturated?

If a solution is saturated you will not be able to dissolve any more of the material in that solution at that temperature. If the concentration of the dissolved material determines the reaction rate of a reaction you care about then you will need to adjust temperature or make other changes to speed it up. In contrast, if you have an unsaturated solution, you can dissolve more of the material in it and increase the reaction rate.
