Saturation refers to how saturate, or bright and colorful, the colors are in an image. There are several ways to adjust the saturation of an image in photoshop. You can select a layer and then in the tool bar menu go to Image>Adjustment>hue/saturation. This will bring up a box with three sliders on it. The middle slider allows you to ajust the saturation.

The other way to adjust the hue saturation is to click in the bottom of the layers pallet the small black and white circle and select hue/saturation which will pull up the same box with the same sliders.

The difference between the two is that the first method will actually change the colors of the image. The second method will create a new layer on top of your image.

In Photoshop can you only saturate a certain color or part in a picture?

I am not sure about saturating specific colors in photoshop. You might be able to achive this by clicking in the tool bar Image>adjustment>curves and selecting the different colors, red, green, and blue and moving the line on the graph up or down.To change the saturation of a specific area of a photo, in the bottom of the layers platte, click the icon of a black and white circle and then select hue saturation. use the middle slidder to adjust the saturation to where you want it. click ok.Then in the bottom of the layers pallet click the small icon of a black square with a white circle in it. This will add a layer mask to the hue/saturation layer. Select the layer mask by clicking on it (the new white square in the layers platte that just popped up). Using the brush tool with the color black, begin to paint black over the areas you do not want to be saturated.
