Robots meta directives (sometimes called “meta tags”) are pieces of code that provide crawlers instructions for how to crawl or index web page content. Whereas robots.txt file directives give bots suggestions for how to crawl a website’s pages, robots meta directives provide more firm instructions on how to crawl and index a page’s content.

Some examples of these directives includes:

Noindex:Tells a search engine not to index a page.
Index: Tells a search engine to index a page. Note that you don’t need to add this meta tag; it’s the default.
Follow: Even if the page isn’t indexed, the crawler should follow all the links on a page and pass equityto the linked pages.
Nofollow: Tells a crawler not to follow any links on a page or pass along any link equity.
Noimageindex:Tells a crawler not to index any images on a page.

Meta robots tag is a tag that tells search engines what to follow and what not to follow. It is a piece of code in the <head> section of your webpage. It's a simple code that gives you the power to decide about what pages you want to hide from search engine crawlers and what pages you want them to index and look at
