Sitemap is a file by which you can list the pages of your site. A sitemap is used to tell Google and other search engines about the organization of your site content. Basically search engine crawlers like Googlebot read the sitemap file to crawl your site more intelligently. Ideally, if a site pages are linked properly, then search engine crawlers can usually discover most of your site.

An XML sitemap is the structured that tells the search engine about the pages of a site, their relative importance to each other, and how often they are updated.
