It's fuel exhaust, like the exhaust from a car.
Like a car the largest component of rocket exhaust (at least from the combustion of its hydrogen fuel) is water, The white "smoke" you see is essentially steam like you get from a hot kettle/.

1st. The rocket sets still until a force, burning fuel, causes a change in motion. 2nd. F=ma The force of the burning fuel causes an acceleration of the rocket. 3rd. Action/reaction. The action of hot burning gases leaving the rocket causes a reaction, which is the motion of the rocket in the opposite direction. Note: The exhaust does not need to hit the ground to cause the reaction. A rocket engine ignited in outer space will cause a change in the motion of the rocket.
