No, not all substances dissolve in water. Substances that are nonpolar, meaning that they don't have a dipole moment, will not be able to dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent. Only polar solutes will dissolve in polar solvents. Oil is an example of such a substance that is nonpolar and does not dissolve in water. There are also ionic compounds that are insoluble in water, such as silver bromide (AgBr), potassium sulfide (K2S), and lead(II) sulfate (PbSO4).

Being soluble means that a substance can dissolve in a liquid, usually water. When a substance is soluble, it can mix evenly with the liquid to form a solution. This affects the properties of the substance by changing its physical state, such as making it easier to mix with other substances or increasing its ability to be absorbed by the body.
