If steam is formed at 100°C, what is being produced at 80-90°C?

Steam is formed at 100°C but I see “steam” being produced at less than that temperature. What is that and why isn’t it steam?

My understanding is that steam is an invisible gas which you will get when you heat water up enough, the stuff you can see is water vapour which rather than being a gas is actually lots of extremely small water droplets suspended in the air. So, if you can see it, it ain’t steam.
