The term saturated means or referred to a compound in which all carbons are bonds in a single bonds and every one of the carbon atoms are bonded to a different atoms.
A saturated polymer is a polymer in which all carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms, meaning they are linked by single bonds. This results in a straight or branched chain structure without any double or triple bonds between carbon atoms. Saturated polymers typically have higher chemical and thermal stability compared to unsaturated polymers.
Fats are made of polymers that are a attached to a sugar. A polymer is a reapting chain of carbon and hydrogen molecules. If all the molecules have hydrogens, the polymer is a saturated fat. If the chain is missing one hydrogen, it becomes an unsaturated fat. If the chain has mor than one missing hydrogen, it is a polyunsaturated fat.
