What Is robot.txt in SEO?

The first file that the search engine bots look at is the text file of the robot, if it is not found, then there is a high probability that the crawlers will not index all the pages of your site. This tiny file can be changed later when you add more pages with a little instructions, but make sure you don't add the master page to the disallow directive. Google runs on a crawl budget; this budget is based on the scan limit.

Difference between a sitemap.xml and a robots.txt file

A sitemap is vital for all websites as it contains useful information for search engines. The sitemap tells the bots how often you update your website, what content your site provides. Its main purpose is to notify search engines of all the pages on your site that need to be crawled, while the robotics text file is for search robots. It tells the crawlers which page to crawl and which not to. The sitemap is necessary for your site to be indexed, but the txt of the robot is not (if you do not have pages that do not need to be indexed).
