Sitemap.xml is useful for search engine crawler. Google sitemaps is a tool made available from Google in 2005. It enables a webmaster to submit an index of web pages to Google using an XML data exchange standard through posting the sitemap on its server. Benefits include the ability to identify which pages have not been indexed and why. The tool also indicates pages that change regularly and reports on popularity of searches.
Using sitemaps has many benefits, not only easier navigation and better visibility by search engines. Sitemaps offer the opportunity to inform search engines immediately about any changes on your site. Of course, you cannot expect that search engines will rush right away to index your changed pages but certainly the changes will be indexed faster, compared to when you don't have a sitemap.
Also, when you have a sitemap and submit it to the search engines, you rely less on external links that will bring search engines to your site. Sitemaps can even help with messy internal links - for instance if you by accident have broken internal links or orphaned pages that cannot be reached in other way (though there is no doubt that it is much better to fix your errors than rely on a sitemap).
