Water is not a wave. Waves on a water surface, on the other hand, do indeed have similarities with other types of waves in physics, including radio waves.

Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves cant?

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that need a medium to propagate. This can be air,water or solids. Sound waves work like a truck hitting a line of cars. The wave travels through the line from back to front but would not if there were no cars. Radio waves, like light are electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium to radiate. That is why we see Sunlight but do not hear the constant roar of the Sun's fusion activity.
