The robots.txt file is a simple text file placed in the root directory of a website to instruct web crawlers (like those used by search engines) on how to crawl and index its pages. It tells crawlers which pages or sections of the website they can or cannot access. This helps manage search engine behavior, improve crawl efficiency, and protect certain areas from being publicly indexed, such as admin or private pages.
