As pointed out by others, “sugar” usually refers to refined cane or beet sugar, which is sucrose. There are many kinds of sugars, but this is the most common commercial product.

It’s a pure substance because it consists of one kind of molecule. Refining incluces several processes that remove other things (such as the cellulose) from the beets or cane. Refined sugar has well defined physical and chemical properties that make it very useful in product: well defined solubility, melting point, chemical changes at various temperatures, sweetness, etc.
