Why are steam burns on the skin so severe?
It is not really more. Steam is the gas form of water, and thus hotter than the liquid form. 1000C (at 1au at sea level) is the boiling point of water. 400C water will not burn you, but 990C will. Steam at 1010C will burn you, but steam at 5000C would burn worse. So your answer is steam is hotter, but how much more of a burn you get also has to do with the amount of steam or water you come in contact with, and the temperature the steam or water is.
Is steam flammable?
No, steam itself is not flammable. Steam is simply water in the gas phase, so it does not burn or support combustion.
What causes a more severe burn - water or steam?

Why would Steam at 100 degree celsius burn worse than that of liquid water AT the same temperature?
Steam at 100 degrees Celsius contains more heat energy compared to liquid water at the same temperature. When steam comes into contact with skin, it releases this extra heat quickly, causing more severe burns compared to liquid water of the same temperature.
Why burn caused due to steam is more severe than the boiling water at same temperature?
steam causes severe burns because of change of state i.e. liquid to gas with effects our skin. where as boiling water is only liquid which is hot but it does not effect the skin more than water.Thus higher the temperature of steam as compared to water. cause more severe burns than boiling water
