Bubbles are comprised of gases, which have a lesser density than water. Since they are less dense, they get pushed up to the surface, and they rise, lighter than the liquid around them.

air is less dense than water and thus the force of gravity is less on the bubble than on the surrounding water, the bubbles rise.

How do bubbles form in boiling water?

When water boils, the heat converts some of the water to steam and each bubble is a steam bubble. Steam is a gas that is lighter than water, and so the bubbles rise to the surface of the water where the steam is released. As the steam cools in the air, it forms water vapor, and that is what we see. Most people call the vapor "steam", but steam is a transparent gas, like air.
