Quicklime =CaO
On reacting with water , it forms slaked
lime.
CaO+H2O=Ca(OH)2
Above reaction is exothermic i.e. heat is released during the reaction .
That's why the water appeared to be boiling.

as it is a exothermic reaction
CaO + H2O gives Ca(OH2) and water
the product formed is slaked lime (aqueous)
