We use two kinds of sitemap. First one is HTML which is created for the ease of the visitors that if they want to save their time then they can get all the links/pages of your website at one place which is HTML sitemap. The second one is XML which is created for search engines. Like same as HTML, you also created all the links/pages of your website at one place but this one place is submitted into Google Webmaster which indexes all your website's pages through this sitemap.
