A `sitemap.xml` file is an XML document that helps search engines understand the structure of a website. It lists URLs for a site along with additional information about each URL. Here are some key components:

URL: The address of the page.
Last Modified: The date when the page was last updated.
Change Frequency: How often the page is likely to change (e.g., daily, weekly).
Priority: The importance of the page relative to others on the site, on a scale from 0.0 to 1.0.
