The simplest explanation is that XML is primarily for the search engines while HTML is written for the users. A XML sitemap protocol is specifically intended for search engine spiders. At its root, XML is a file that includes all the behind the scenes activity on a web site.

XML Sitemaps are important for SEO because they make it easier for Google to find your site's pages and Google ranks web PAGES not just websites.
