The funnel of a tornado is caused by condensation, due to the pressure drop and resulting temperature drop inside it. Temperature and pressure also decrease with increasing altitude, making it easier for condensation to occur and causing the funnel to be wider at the top. At the bottom, the pressure and temperature may only be low enough for condensation at the very center of the tornado.

Evaporation and Condensation are based upon the energy in the water molecules. If the water temperature (vapor) is above the surface temperature, it will evaporate. If the water temperature (vapor) is below the surface temperature it will condense. Evaporation and condensation are happening at the same time. We add the term "Net" at the beginning to show which is happening at a greater rate. The temperature at which there is net condensation is referred to as dew point.
Dew Point

Yes it does
Condensation
The air will be ready for condensation. The introduction of nucleation centres or a small drop in temperature will result in condensation.

Air that is pulled into a tornado undergoes a rapid drop in pressure which causes a drop in temperature. This temperature drop triggers the condensation that forms the funnel. The funnel is opaque and so blocks out light coming from behind. Tornadoes may also appear dark from lifting soil into the air.
At saturation, latent heat of condensation is released into the air.
Condensation commonly occurs when a vapor is cooled to its dew point, but the dew point can also be reached through compression. In nature dew point occurs with a drop in atmospheric pressure and temperature
Condensation takes place at any temperature. Condensation takes place at any temperature.
it takes 50 billion pounds of condensation to form 1 fain drop
Temperature
Because the amount of water vapour that the air can carry before condensation occurs varies with temperature. If you take hot humid air aind cool it down some of that humidity will drop out as condensation - turn into water.
Condensation Increases with relative HUMIDITY.
