The statement that is inaccurate regarding waves is:
**"Waves transfer matter and not energy."**
This statement is incorrect because waves primarily transfer energy, not matter. While waves can cause particles in a medium to oscillate, they do not carry the entire medium along with them; thus, they do not transfer matter.
