Heat is needed for water to boil.

Endothermic process can be defined as a process in which heat energy is absorbed from the surrounding that bring about changes in the molecular level like breaking chemical bonds, inter-molecular force of attraction etc.

Boiling of water is an endothermic process because during this process water absorbs heat , its kinetic energy increases and then it boils.
