Alkanes have single bonds only and are therefore saturated. A hydrocarbon is unsaturated if there are multiple bonds or rings within the compound. Alkenes contain double bonds, alkynes contain triple bonds, and cycloalkanes contain rings; these are unsaturated hydrocarbons. But alkanes are saturated.
