A Medium
A medium is any substance through which a wave can travel. Examples of mediums include air for sound waves, water for ocean waves, and solids like metal for seismic waves.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through space because they do not require a medium to propagate. These waves can travel through the vacuum of space and do not need a material substance to carry them.
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (substance) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, like light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
A medium is any substance or region through which a wave is transmitted. Examples of mediums include air for sound waves, water for ocean waves, and glass for light waves. The properties of the medium can affect how the wave travels and behaves.

Any substance!
Most waves that travel through a substance are mechanical waves. These waves require a medium (such as water, air, or solids) to propagate. Sound waves, seismic waves, and ocean waves are examples of mechanical waves.
A wave is a vibration that passes through a substance without permanently changing the substance. Waves transfer energy without displacing matter permanently. Examples include sound waves and light waves.
Mechanical waves need a medium substance to travel through. Electromagnetic do not.

They both move energy through a field without moving a substance.

Medum, although for electromagnetic waves a medium is not required.
In any substance, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed that light travels through that substance.
