ELI5 why water evaporates at room temperature

I thought the boiling point was around 200 degrees, so why does it evaporate off of my counter, or kitchen table?
EDIT spelling also, thanks for the answers everyone! (For clarification my estimate was in Fahrenheit, I know the boiling point of water is 373K, didn't know about that boiling was really that different than evaporation though, thanks DrRockter!

100 degrees celcius is the boiling point of water, not its evaporation point. Water can evaporate at any temperature given the right humidity. If there is less water in the surrounding air than the puddle of water on your counter, then the water will evaporate.
