It is a text, MS word or any other text editing file with written instructions for search engine robot / spider to know where to crawl and where not to crawl on your site. It is added into the root directory of your domain.
Each file/folder is needed to be entered as a new line for the bot to exclude crawl through it.
However, it is not essential that you should always type instructions/script inside the .txt file.
Just having even a blank robots.txt file indicates an acknowledgement from you for the search engines that they have free access to your site.

It is highly recommended to add a robots text file to your main domain and all sub-domains on your site.

Robots. txt is a text file that website owners can create to tell search engine bots how to crawl and index pages on their site. You can have multiple lines of instructions to allow or disallow specific URLs and add multiple sitemaps.

The robots. txt file, also known as the robots exclusion protocol or standard, is a text file that tells web robots (most often search engines) which pages on your site to crawl. It also tells web robots which pages not to crawl.

A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which URLs the crawler can access on your site. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests; it is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google.
