Robots.txt is stand for Robots Exclusion Protocol.
1. The robots.txt is a simple text file in your web site that inform search engine bots how to crawl and index website or web pages.
2. By default search engine bots crawl everything possible unless they are forbidden from doing so. They always scan the robots.txt file before crawling the web site.
3. Declaring a robots.txt means that visitors (bots) are not allowed to index sensitive data but it doesn’t mean that they can’t. The legal/good bots follow what is instructed to them but the Malware robots don’t care about it, so don’t try to use it as a security for your web site.

Hi Friends
It is simple text file that is created using text editors. It provides essential information to search engine. Best practice robots.txt file improve search engine rankings for the site. So this is one of the important file to have nice ranking on search engine and SEO.
When search crawls our website, it will look for this particular file on our site. This special file tells the search engine spider, to priority the web pages to be indexed. In the sense, which page should be index and which page should be discarded. It requests the search engine crawler not to index these files as they are not request to be viewed by users.
Thanks and Regards

The robots.txt file, also known as the robots exclusion protocol or standard, is a text file that tells web robots (most often search engines) which pages on your site to crawl. It also tells web robots which pages not to crawl. ... The slash after “Disallow” tells the robot to not visit any pages on the site.

Web site owners use the /robots.txt file to give instructions about their site to web robots; this is called The Robots Exclusion Protocol.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots. The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.
There are two important considerations when using /robots.txt:
robots can ignore your /robots.txt. Especially malware robots that scan the web for security vulnerabilities, and email address harvesters used by spammers will pay no attention.
the /robots.txt file is a publicly available file. Anyone can see what sections of your server you don't want robots to use.
