As you'll know, the amount of energy you can get from (say) steam, is limited by the difference between the hottest the steam is, and the condensation temperature.

So if we confine the steam, we can heat it well above the usual boiling point, and thus the quantity of energy we can extract is greater.

What force causes the superheating of the corona?

The main force responsible for the superheating of the corona is thought to be magnetic reconnection, where magnetic field lines in the Sun's atmosphere break and reconnect, releasing large amounts of energy as heat. This process accelerates particles and heats the corona to millions of degrees Celsius.
