They are an additional tool to help the search engines when they crawl a site. There is no requirement for any sitemap and your pages will get indexed without them if you pay close attention to navigation within your site.

Just to add to the three answers above, aside from making site-map speed up the addition of the web pages of a site to the Google listing, this can also help your visitors to find various areas of information on your website. For example, when they searches for a specific information on the web, they are quickly be directed to any one of the web pages of a particular site.

Since Google came up with the whole XML sitemap scheme several years ago, I've assumed that in the world of Sitemaps, Google preferred XML sitemaps.
XML Sitemaps (my preferred choice) must be created in the root directory. There is a limit of 10MB per sitemap XML file. You can create an XML sitemap with WordPress, Joomla, or any other CMS through downloadable plugins. Also, you can create an XML sitemap through keyword searching for free XML sitemap services online.
Thanks.
