Lava is molten Rick generated by geothermal energy and expelled through fractures in planetary crust or in an eruption.
The temperature of lava is usually between 700° C to 1200°C.
The boiling point of water is 100°C.
When water is heated beyond this temperature it evaporates.
Since lava flowing into the ocean is above the boiling temperature of water, when the lava flows into the ocean, steam is formed.
