XML Declaration: This indicates that the file is in XML format.
URL Set: The root element that contains all the URLs.
URL Entry: Each URL entry is defined within url tags.
Loc: The loc tag specifies the URL of the page.
Last Modified: The lastmod tag indicates when the page was last updated.
Change Frequency: The changefreq tag suggests how frequently the page is likely to change.
