by searching the site or navigating through the site menus.

This HTML Sitemap can also be created in XML format and submitted to search
engines so they can crawl the website in a more effective manner.
An XML sitemap help the search engine bots to navigate through all the links in your site and add it to their database.

Using the Sitemap, search engines become aware of every page on the site, including any URLs that are not discovered through the normal crawling process used by the engine.
Sitemaps are helpful if a site has dynamic content, is new and does not have
many links to it, or contains a lot of archived content that is not
well-linked.
