What forms when groundwater enters caverns and water is heated to boiling?

Steam on its release, in geothermal wells.
I'm not sure what you mean by "caverns".
Natural caves don't normally act like that - except when glacial melt-water enters a hot lava-tube, or an island-arc volcano's magma chamber collapses and allows the sea in. That may be the cause of the tremendous explosion that ended a series of eruptions of Mt. Krakatau in 18(86?).

Why is a spring considered part of the groundwater system?
It is the groundwater that is heated or made cold and comes out of the spring. The groundwater is coming out of the spring.
What is heated groundwater that comes to the surface?
artesian well
When groundwater is heated below the surface to boiling by hot igneous rocks can form.?
A Geyser can develop. It can also be a source of energy, i.e. Hydrothermal Energy.
What is the term for groundwater heated by magma that rises to the surface and collects in a natural pool?
This is known as a hot spring. This process is one source of geothermal energy.
When groundwater is heated by a nearby body magma rises to the surface and collects in a natural pool it is called?
Hot Springs, or a Geyser.
When ground water enters underground fractured or caverns in hot igneous rocks where it is heated to boiling temperatures what feature can form?
Caves

Are geysers formed when groundwater is heated by nearby magma?
Geysers are, in fact, formed when groundwater is heated by nearby magma. They can also be formed by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occasionally as well.

A Geyser can develop. It can also be a source of energy, i.e. Hydrothermal Energy.
In volcanic areas groundwater heated by magma is source of?
geothermal energy
In volcanic areas groundwater heated by magma is a source of what?
In volcanic areas the heated water is a source of escape for the volcanic gases. Water heated by magma gets very hot and needs to have a place to go or the ground will explode.
When groundwater is heated below the surface to boiling by hot igneous rocks what forms?
Hot springs or geysers are created when groundwater gets heated by hot intrusive rocks and can ascend via fractures in the crust. In the most extreme case so called phreatomagmatic eruptions take place. When magma ascends and reaches groundwater at shallow depths, the resulting steam expands dramatically and fractures the overlying rock thus producing a conical hole in the ground. These volcanic craters are referred to as maars.
Geysers are formed when groundwater is heated by nearby magma true or false?
True
What does heated liquid and gas become?
A heated liquid become a gas at the boiling point.

When does water transform into a gas?
When heated to its boiling point.
