Electricity is energy.
Energy can be different things.
We have movement as an energy, kinetic energy that is.
Then there is, amongst others heat, as an energy.
Electricity must be in a circuit to work.
When putting the 9volt battery in the steel wool you make a circuit.
Then the electricity will flow through the steel wool.
When the electricity is not being used by anything (no light bulbs or anything), it is being converted to heat energy.
Steel wool burns easily, so the heat will easily ignite the steel wool.

Yes. Steel burns. A sparkler uses burning steel for the sparks.
This is chemistry 101, people. Steel burns when the temperature gets high enough. Burning, it generates enough heat to catch more steel wool on fire. The fire goes out when the heat / air (oxygen) / fuel ratios no longer support combustion.
