The file tells the search engine crawlers which parts to web and which parts to leave alone in a website, differing between what is viewable to the public and what is viewable to the creators of the website alone.

The location of robots.txt is very important. It must be in the main directory because otherwise user agents (search engines) will not be able to find it – they do not search the whole site for a file named robots.txt. Instead, they look first in the main directory and if they don't find it there, they simply assume that this site does not have a robots.txt file and therefore they index everything they find along the way. So, if you don't put robots.txt in the right place, do not be surprised that search engines index your whole site.

robots.txt is a text file webmasters create to instruct robots (typically search engine robots) how to crawl and index pages on their website.

The purpose of a robots.txt file is to tell search engines not to crawl the contents of specific directories or even individual pages within a website. ... However there are a couple of reasons why all websites would benefit from having one. The first thing search engines look for is the robots.txt file.
