Why we use Robots.txt File?
The robots exclusion protocol (REP), or robots.txt is a text file webmasters.(REP tags) for use in the robots meta element, also known as "robots meta tag.
Robots.txt file is used to tell Google, which pages of the website need to be crawled and indexed. This file is uploaded in the root file of the website. If not Robots.txt file, a website will have Robots tag, the only difference between Robots.txt file and tag is , Robots tag is required to upload in each and every web page, if it is not mentioned than by default crawlers are allowed to crawl the website. If want to block that mention noindex in the meta tag.
Not only google. But robots.txt is read by mostly all the search engines and bots !
