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.
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.

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.

What is the name for a crack in the Earth's surface that spouts boiling water at intervals?
It is called a geyser, and results from groundwater entering fissures in rock that is being continuously heated by magma from below the surface. The general term for such releases of steam and hot water is geothermal energy.

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.
