Liquid water can exist at (and above) 100 degrees Celsius if the pressure is increased above one atmosphere (about 100 000 Pascals). The high pressure squeezes the molecules together, and does not allow them to separate into a gas. This forces it to remain as a liquid, despite the high temperature. Of course, water vapour (steam) can certainly exist above 100 degrees Celsius.
If you're interested in how the two phases exist together, if you heat water to 374 degrees Celsius and increase the pressure to 218 atmospheres, the properties of the liquid and the vapour merge together to form only one "supercritical fluid" phase.

What the Celsius of water?
I'm not clear on what you're asking. Water can exist at many different Celsius degrees. Below zero, it takes the form of ice. Above 100, it takes the form of steam.
Does steam has highest latent heat than boiling water?
Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.
Water becomes steam at what degrees?
100 degree Celsius
Steam point of water?
Water turns to steam (or in other words, it boils) at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
How much heat gives 1 kg of steam?
756.78 degrees Celsius
What is the steam point of the Celsius scale?
at 100 degrees liquid water will go to steam and steam will go to liquid water
What happens to steam at 105 degrees Celsius?
at 105 degreesCelsius,steam is still steam.at about 50,000 degrees Celsius,steam turns into plasma, the fourth state of matter.
Can water withstand above100 degrees in liquid state celsius?
Easily at high pressures. This idea is behind superheated steam boilers.
What is the physical state of water at 100 degree C?
Water is a gas (steam) at 120 degrees Celsius.
What does water change to above 100 degrees Celsius?
Steam. Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
What object is as hot as 500 degrees Celsius?
steam
Can steam be formed at 120 degrees Celsius?
Yes, it can.

What is steembath?
A "steam bath" is a room with super saturated steam at about 50 or 60 degrees Celsius.
