Radiation and conduction have nothing to do with it.

Convection causes the water at the bottom of the pot to heat up, lowering its density and sending it to the top of the pot. It then cools, increasing its density and sending to the bottom of the pot. Repeat.

Conduction, because you can see the flames, it is on direct heat, but if you are boiling water that might be convection.

Water, heated at the bottom of a pan rises to the top. Its place is taken by colder water from the top moving down. This sets up a flow in the container.
