Sitemap is one of the very important part of SEO. By the help of sitemap crawler comes to know about your whole website and web pages. It is of two types

1.) Xml Sitemap for crawlers &
2.) HTML sitemap for users.

Sitemap is important for crawling your website by spiders in one visit. Sitemap contains all the the main links of your websites at one place. So when spiders visit this sitemap your all the link will be crawled at once. If crawler will not visit your website's inner pages you have no need to worry. Because it has already crawled in site map.

Sitemap is one page where we can put our website all pages and crawler can cache it easily.

Sitemaps are the heart of Search Engine Friendly Design. Through Sitemaps search engine easily found and index every page on your website. In other point of views, You also say sitemaps is basically an additional page on your website that includes a list of links of every single page on your site and can also detail the hierarchy of pages on your site.
