Add the spring-boot-maven-plugin to you build properties in the pom.xml file,

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

please refer below link or please refer this qustion too.

Can you confirm if your .M2 folder has the Spring Boot libraries downloaded.

I kind of faced a similar issue where I expected the version mentioned in the parent entry would automatically be reflected in the Spring Boot dependency, but didnt.
What I did was, I added the version tag with the Spring Boot Dependency and it worked.
Worth a try.!

Just update your spring boot project using Maven update command.
The error is occurred due to the dependency are not downloaded completely
