It is because when the rivers pour water in seas they carry some minerals along with them which contains mostly NaCl(Common Salt) which gives a salty taste to the oceans water. One more reason for it is that the sea bed contains silt which also has Common Salt contained in it.

Why are the oceans meant to be salty?

The oceans are now "meant" to be salty they just are salty. The reason is that when rain falls on the land it disolves some of the chemicals in the soil and the rocks, water then flows into rivers and eventually the seas and the oceans, still catrrying its loads of dissolved chemicals which tend to be nitrates and chlorides because both are soluable, the nirtates get used up by marine vegetation but the chlorides (salts) remain in the water, hence the oceans and the seas are salty.

Why 97 percent of the water is salty?

The majority of Earth's water is salty due to the continuous process of erosion, which carries dissolved minerals into the oceans. This, in combination with volcanic activity releasing minerals and salts into water bodies, contributes to the high salinity of our oceans. Additionally, evaporation of water from the oceans leaves the salts behind, further concentrating the salt content over time.
