The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
A solute generally dissolves more rapidly the warmer the solvent. Also, any mixing or moving of the solute, and also if the solute is broken up (increases surface area) both speed up dissolving.
As the particle size gets smaller, the surface area increases, and as the surface area increases, the ease with which water can hydrate the particles increases. When it is easier for water to hydrate the molecules, this increases the speed at which the solute dissolves.
A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution. The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute to create the solution.
Not necessarily just changing the surface area causes the rate to change. Changing the ratio of surface area volume changes the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent. If the surface area is larger and the volume of a solute is smaller or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent increases. If the surface area is smaller and the volume of the solute is larger or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent decreases.

Decreasing the temperature and increasing the pressure will decrease the total amount of gaseous solute able to be dissolved in a liter of liquid water. Conversely, increasing the temperature and decreasing the pressure will increase the amount of gaseous solute that can be dissolved.

It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
The rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent depends on factors such as temperature, the surface area of the solute, stirring/agitation, and the nature of the solute and solvent. Generally, higher temperatures, greater surface area, and increased agitation can all speed up the dissolving process.
The substance that dissolves is called the "solute" and the substance that the solute dissolves in is called the "solvent".
