You are asking the question wrongly if you are looking for a justification (why) steam is formed. In science we mainly explain the mechanism (how it happens and not why it happens).
When water boils, it evaporates at a great rate, water vapor is invisible. But soon after leaving the boiling surface and rising upwards it would hit the air above the pot (which in general would be a much lower temperature than the boiling water) - some of the water vapor molecules would condense quickly back to liquid form. This liquid is usually in very tiny droplets, small enough that they can be suspended in air. (Fog, mist, clouds etc. are similar example of tiny droplets of water being suspended in air).
So the more interesting aspect of your question ought to be "Can we boil water and not get steam?" - Yes, it is possible - just do it in a room whereby the temperature of air is way above 100 degrees - let's say 200 degrees - when you boil water in such an environment - there is little chance for steam to form.
