sitemaps are really handy for correctly indexing your website; they help search engines during the crawling process.
You could compare a sitemap to a road map for crawlers. Crawlers usually discover new pages via links (href or src). A sitemap is used to double-check their link database, allowing them to discover pages they might not otherwise have seen. As a bonus, you can provide crawlers with additional information about the URL by adding metadata.
This is especially useful for new websites or websites with a significant amount of new/updated pages.
