HEY MATE . HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.

It is because of latent heat of vaporization. ... However, as steam is formed from boiling water, it contains the heat energy of boiling water, along with the latent heat of vaporization. Hence, as steam has more heat energy, it can cause more severe burns than boiling water.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
