No it is not. It's a phase change. Ice = solid water. Water = liquid water. Steam = gas water.
The change from one phase to another does not change the identity of the substance, simply it's form.
It you were to boil a pot of water, and hold a lid or something above the pot, you'd notice that as the steam rises, it collects on the lid. This is condensation (gas to liquid), the reversal of boiling. The gas (steam) is cooled, changing to a liquid state.
If you still don't understand, Google "phase change" and you'll find something.
