Why do we say that at boiling point liquid and vapour exist in equilibrium?

I understand that at boiling point, vapour pressure becomes equal to the external pressure. But in my textbook it is written that at boiling point liquid and vapour exist in equilibrium. What does it mean by 'vapour and liquid exist in equilibrium' and also why do they exist in equilibrium?
