About the only time the phrase "steep in water" is generally used is in reference to tea; we let the tea leaves sit in the hot water for some minutes, and then remove the tea leaves from the water when it is the strength that we desire.
We can do this in one of three ways. Some varieties of tea are packaged in tea bags, in which a fine mesh bag has the chopped up tea leaves. Remove the tea bag from the water when the tea is at the desired strength.
Or, a tea ball can be used; a small perforated metal ball which can be opened to insert fresh tea or to clean out the used tea leaves. Some tea balls are of whimsical shapes; the ThinkGeek website has tea balls in the shape of the Death Star and R2D2.
You can make your tea with loose tea; pour the tea through a small strainer to remove the tea leaves. You never get ALL of the tea out; when you are done, the remains of the tea will settle at the bottom of your cup. Some people claim to predict your future in the patterns of the dregs of the tea in your cup. (This was a plot element in a couple of the Harry Potter novels.)

What does steeped mean?
Steep has a couple of definitions. A hill is steep when it has a pronounced incline. Steep also means to soak in liquid to extract flavor or to soften. When we steep tea in a tea pot, we take the infusor, which is full of the tea leaves, and put it into the hot water. It will steep there for several minutes to permit the water to extract the flavor from the tea so we may drink it.

What does steeper mean?
To be more steep. We say "a steep slope" meaning the slope rises at a sharp angle, that is difficult to climb. A wall is steep because it goes straight up.
Can steep slopes retain water?
Steep slopes generally have a reduced capacity to retain water due to gravity, which causes water to flow quickly downhill rather than being absorbed into the soil. However, certain conditions, such as vegetation cover and soil composition, can enhance water retention on steep slopes by promoting infiltration and reducing runoff. Additionally, features like terraces or contour farming can also help in managing water retention on steep terrains. Overall, while steep slopes can pose challenges for water retention, effective management practices can improve their capacity to hold moisture.
Why are ordinary springs commonly found in steep terrain'?
Ordinary springs are commonly found in steep terrain because the steep slopes allow for more rapid infiltration of water into the ground. This water then flows through the underground rock layers until it reaches a point where it is discharged as a spring. The steep terrain also provides pressure that helps push the water to the surface, creating springs.
