To describe the document's purpose for various entities, but isn't a must. As the first post stated, spiders also known as bots will crawl your page to gather intelligence for search results known as indexing. It is useful if you want to be found, and can also stop bots from calling if you understand what a robot.txt file is or the <meta name="robots" content="NOFOLLOW, NOINDEX">. Some bots don't care for these to be honest, so you must use .htaccess.
