While ice cold water can shock the roots of a plant, hot water can actually be worse.
Boiling or near boiling water can damage the fine roots of plants, inhibiting water take-up by the roots.
Room temperature water is best, especially for watering house plants.
If you have a dried-out peat based potting soil, warm (not hot) water can help the peat to re-hydrate.
Hot water on foliage can also be detrimental - many leaves are sensitive to direct extreme temperatures, which is one reason that boiling water can be an effective organic herbicide to treat small weedy tasks, like grass growing in sidewalk cracks.
