Robots.txt is one way of telling the Search Engine Bots about the web pages on your website which you do not want them to visit.
Robots.txt is useful for preventing the indexation of the parts of any online content that website owners do not want to display. It is important to decide the location of Robots.txt very carefully, or else errors might occur while displaying the website.

Robots.txt is a content record website admins make to teach web robots (normally web index robots) how to slither pages on their site. The robots.txt record is a piece of the robots rejection convention (REP), a gathering of web norms that manage how robots creep the web, access and file substance, and serve that substance up to clients. The REP additionally incorporates orders like meta robots, and page-, subdirectory-, or vast guidelines for how web search tools should treat joins, (for example, "take after" or "nofollow").
By and by, robots.txt documents show whether certain client operators (web-creeping programming) can or can't slither parts of a site. These slither guidelines are indicated by "denying" or "permitting" the conduct of certain (or all) client specialists.

A robots.txt file gives instructions to web robots about the pages the website owner doesn’t wish to be ‘crawled’. For instance, if you didn’t want your images to be listed by Google and other search engines, you’d block them using your robots.txt file.

Robots.txt : It is a text file created by webmasters that instruct web robots how to crawl pages in their website.

Web site owners use the /robots.txt file to give instructions about their site to web robots; this is called The Robots Exclusion Protocol. The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots. The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.
