It may be either, though it is often unsaturated. Oil in this context usually means a triglyceride which is liquid at room temperature, and fats are solid at room temperature. Unsaturation tends to be associated with a lower melting point, but there are other factors which affect this too. Most oils are mixtures of compounds anyway. So sunflower oil is highly unsaturated, but coconut oil is largely saturated.
