It's called hydrated.
The notation of hydrous compound · nH2O, where n is the number of water molecules per molecule of salt, is commonly used to show that a salt is hydrated. The n is usually a low integer, though it is possible for fractional values to exist. In a monohydrate n is one, in a hexahydrate n is 6 etc. Such water is also referred to as water of crystallization. Examples include borax decahydrate, copper sulfate pentahydrate.
By the way, the opposite of a hydrate is an anhydrate, such substances contain no water or form no water upon heating.
Good luck!
