Steam is the gaseous form of water above its boiling point. When you see 'steam', that is not really steam, it's warm-water droplets in the air.

Steam is created when water is boiled because the heat causes the water molecules to gain enough energy to break free from liquid form and turn into a gas. This gas is what we see as steam rising up from the boiling water.
