When soap is added to water, water is the solvent
Water is the solvent because there is more of it. Soap is the solute because it is being dissolved in the solvent.
Water is the solvent and soap is the solute.
Solvent
Water is a polar solvent while chloroform is a non-polar solvent. There is a popular aphorism used for predicting solubility which is "like dissolves like". Water and chloroform have different solubility. Therefore, chloroform is insoluble in water and will just form a layer when mixed. But in the presence of soap solution, they can mix together. Soap serves as an emulsifying agent that will reduce the surface tension of the solution.
It is a solvent that dissolves in a solution.
The substance that is dissolved in a solution is a solute. A solvent is the dissolving medium in a solution.

Solvent
Hand soap is a solution. A solution is any substance made up of a solute and solvent combined together. The solute is various chemicals (originally lipids, now surfactants) in a solvent base of water and miscible liquids.
one that isnt a soap or detergent water is a solvent for many things but not oils or waxes kerosine is a solvent for oils or waxes but not water a soap will let polar substances dissolve in water

The solvent and the solvent dissolves the solute in a solution
The solvent is the substance which dissolve the solute; for a sugar solution water is the solvent and sugar the solute.
The substance that is dissolved in a solution is a solute. A solvent is the dissolving medium in a solution.
To make a solution you add a solute to a solvent.
