Electromagnetic waves transport energy and momentum across space. The energy and momentum transported by an electromagnetic wave are not continuously distributed over the wave front. Energy and momentum are transported by photons in discrete packages.

Answer:
Electromagnetic waves can set charges in motion. Hence, they are said to transport momentum.
Or
Electromagnetic waves are known to exert 'radiation pressure '.This pressure is due to the force associated with the rate of change in momentum. Hence, EM waves transport momentum
