In water, the water itself moves up and down to transmit the energy of the wave. The movement of the water is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is travelling, and the wave is said to be a transverse wave.

If the disturbance moves at right angle to the direction of the wave (e.g., the particles that make up the wave), it is a transverse wave. Otherwise (if they move in the same direction), it is called a longitudinal wave.

How does transverse waves move?

When you make a wave on a rope, the wave moves from one end of the rope to the other. But the rope itself moves up and down or from side to side, at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels. Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel are called transverse waves. Transverse means "across". As a transverse wave moves, the particles of the medium move across, or at right angle to, the direction of the wave.
