A dipole refers to two electrostatic charges which are separated by distance.

In chemical compounds a dipole refers to unequal distribution of charge across a molecule that leads to an effective dipole often due to vector sum of bond dipoles.

How does dipolar nature of water molecule make it an effective solvent for ionic compounds like salt?

The dipolar nature of water molecule allows it to form interactions with charged ions in ionic compounds. The partial negative charge on oxygen attracts cations while the partial positive charge on hydrogen attracts anions, breaking apart the ionic lattice of the compound. This allows water to surround and solvate individual ions, effectively dissolving the ionic compound.
