    Because they propagate due to presence of magnetic and electric field.

    Explanation:

    An Electromagnetic wave is a transversal wave conformed of an electric field perpendicular to a magnetic field.

    Maxwell established that an electric field can generate a magnetic field and vice versa, which allows the propagation of the electromagnetic wave without a medium.
