ELI5: why does a bath or shower produce steam if the water is below boiling point?

I was wondering why there is steam in a bathroom during a shower or bath. The water obviously isn't at boiling point since we can't bathe in watee that temperature. But I was taught that water turns to steam at 100C. How is the steam produced?

What you see is more like clouds than steam. It is condensed water vapor, not steam. In liquid water, there are always some molecules with higher temperature than the average. If one is at the surface, and has a temperature of over 100C, it can evaporate. The molecules cool down and join together into small drops which are big enough to be visible if there are enough of them. True steam is transparent.
