It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.
solid, liquid, or gas......!
Low density: gases Medium density: liquids High density: solids
The medium of a wave is the matter a wave travels through.So yeah, if you wiggle a rope, the medium isn't the air around the rope... the medium is the rope itself!
matter
yes! as a matter of fact they do!
Anything material. (any matter)
"A compressible medium." "A displaceable medium."

Although solid, gas and liquid are the most common states of matter on Earth, much of the baryonic matter of universe is in the form of hot Plasma, both as rarefied interstellar medium and as dense stars.

MEDIUM
Matter through which a wave travels is named as material medium. Example air is a material medium needed for sound waves to pass through
