robots.txt is a hack solution for giving hints to search engine
crawlers and other automated software. You can give guidelines to
search crawlers to tell them which parts of the site should not be
indexed if, for example, you have some duplicated content and you only
want to include the canonical ("permalink") version in the index of
Google and other search engines. Some sites also discourage search
engines from roaming into tricky, dynamic areas application-type pages
(rather than purely informational pages).

The indexing robots request and parse this file before they begin
"crawling" your site for pages and links.

You can read more about the robots.txt file here:

Of course, anything you specify is only a guideline. Some robots won't
request the file at all and others will ignore parts of it if it suits
them.

All the best,
