Due to the presence of greater Latent heat of fusion.

steam at 100C has more heat than water at 100C, because of the Latent heat, which is defined as the heat required to change the state of matter. . To change a pound of water at 212°F to a pound of steam at 212°F, we need to add 970 BTU (latent heat of vaporization).
thefor the burn by steam is severe than the burn by water at the same temperature 100C.

Bcoz steam has greater latent energy than water
-
thisis so beacuase each gram of stream contains extra 540 cal/gm of heat!
