Distillation is a process to filter out soluble impurities from water. It is essentially 2 parts-evaporation and condensation .Distilled water is the purest form of water.

Is the boiling point of steam distillation involving two immiscible components always less than 100?

Yes it is. From the definition of steam distillation we can know that the components of the distillation are immiscible and one of the components is water. Since water's boiling point is 100'C, boiling point of the mixture must be less than that.

Why would you use distillation?

Distillation is a method used to separate the components of a liquid, or increase the purity of a liquid. For example, one can generally make highly pure water through distillation. Alcohols can also be concentrated with distillation which is used to make hard alcohols. One should note, however, that there are often contaminants that co-distill... so for example distilled spirits are rarely pure. Potentially heat-stable solids could also be distilled in some cases. Also see fractional distillation and reflux distillation.
