Steam is a gaseous compound, ie. vaporous water eventually mixed (homogenously) with others like in air.

However a heterogenous mixture of tiny water dropplets, which can be seen coming off a container with boiling water, is (erroneously) called steam, this is a heterogenous mixture of air (gas) and liquid (water). Real steam is invisible, and far more dangerous to get burnt from!
