That could fit several metals. Iron burns brightly if it is powdered, but doesn't react with water unless oxygen is present. Aluminium is not easy to ignite but can burn very brightly when it does go, and it certainly doesn't react with water at room temperature, and zinc is similar. I suspect the questioner may be wanting the answer magnesium, as that is the one we see burning extremely brightly in the lab. However it does react with water, though rather slowly if the water is cold and the magnesium is covered with its normal oxide layer.
