    HTML Sitemap is a organized list of all hyperlinks of your website pages it will be helpful to your visitors navigate and they can find necessary information easily. It is specially for human. XML Sitemaps are in a specific technical format which allow search engine spiders to index your site quickly at once.

    HTML sitemap is for visitors to know navigation of the website

    XML sitemap is crawlers to know about the latest pages of the website

    According to me HTML sitemap is mainly created for humans. Although a HTML sitemap is created for your visitors, indexing bot such as Googlebot might have a better chance to crawl your first-time-missed links again since all the files are well put together in your sitemap page.
    XML Sitemap is for search engine spiders for better indexing of web pages.
