A solute is the substance that the solvent is being dissolved in. For some things (e.g. two liquids) it's a bit ambiguous. Typically if there's a need to specify which is which the predominant component is designated the solvent, though if water is one of the components then it is often considered to be the solvent even when it's not the primary ingredient. Rubbing alcohol, for example, is usually labeled as a 70% solution (of 2-propanol in water) and not as a 30% solution of water in 2-propanol.
