To "transport" energy means to take the energy from one place to another. Waves are capable of doing that.
A wave does not transport energy and matter.
Because it is caused by a disturbance
A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave.

Waves do not transport matter (except fot the matter equivalent of energy, according to the Theory of Relativity). For example, in a water wave, the wave moves on, but each water particle goes back to its place.Waves do not transport matter (except fot the matter equivalent of energy, according to the Theory of Relativity).

Water waves do transport energy. This become obvious when you consider that a very large wave, such as a tsunami, can cause massive amounts of destruction. That takes energy.
Transverse
scientifically we believe that waves are a movement thus waves are able to transport matter (e.g water waves at the ocean are able to take dead aquatic plants/animals from inside to the beach sand).
Interference is a phenomenon meant for waves. Being sound a wave, though longitudinal, it can form the interference pattern.
It means that when the wave is reflected, not all of the wave energy is reflected - rather, part of the wave is either absorbed or simply let through.
Yes, for example sound is a longitudinal wave. It cannot travel in a vacuum.
The phenomenon that sound wave fails to exhibit is polarization.
