Steamed rice

When people stay "steamed rice," do they actually mean the rice is cooked with steam and not in water?

If the rice is immersed in water when it's cooking (in a pot or an electric rice cooker or whatever), shouldn't that be called "boiled rice"? 

I make rice almost every day, but this I do not know.


p.s. healthy tip: put in some brown rice in your white rice, it's good for ya.
