In the given reaction, iron metal is getting oxidised and water is getting reduced. In addition to this, water is an oxidising agent.
Oxidation occurs when oxygen is added or hydrogen is removed. Fe is gaining oxygen to give Fe2O3. H2O is losing oxygen to give H2. An oxidising agent is a substance that oxidises the other component in a chemical process. So, water is acting as an oxidising agent.
