The Roman baths were called public baths because they were open to the general public and the cost of entry was very low or even at times completely free. This denoting of them as public baths also differentiated them from the private baths that were run for profit or the baths that were in private homes.
I guess your question is what was the public bath heated for? The Romans started their baths with a cold plunge bath. They then went in a room with warm air to warm up. The moved into a hot room for a hot bath. Finally they went to a sauna room.
In ancient Rome they used the word "thermae" for the baths, although thermae literally means a hot bath. But since all the public baths had hot rooms, thermae was appropriate. The word "blaineum" could also be used.
Hot

i believe they pumped hot water or gas under the public baths by making wate into steam and forcing it under the marble floors which then heated up maintaining a temperature over approximately 25 degrees in the room
