The XML Sitemap which is a techie version and does not need to be seen by you or me, but is meant for the search engine to read about the pages in a site, their relative importance to each other, and how often they are updated. You can also submit this version of the sitemap to Google Webmaster tools for quick indexing and slotting into Google memory.
The HTML Sitemap is more like the ones you see in shopping malls, telling you where the Zara store is, so you can hop over there directly and not have to walk two miles hunting for it. This type of sitemap is meant for us mere mortals, unlike the XML, which only the Google gods can view!

HTML site map is basically use for user point of view which shows the proper navigation structure of a site. Means a user visit your sitemap page he/she easily find your pages and sub pages very easily.
XML site map is used for the search engine point of view to help the crawl to crawler crawl your site. When crawler crawl a site, if your site have XML site map the crawler very easily crawl your all pages.

Sitemaps are generally of two types:
There is XML sitemap which helps web crawlers easily find and index all the pages and posts on your website so that they can show up in a search engine result page.
Similarly, there is the HTML sitemap which helps humans find a specific page/post on your site so that they can quickly navigate there. This improves your site’s UX, which in turn will also boost your SEO score.

The simplest explanation is that XML is primarily for the search engines while HTML is written for the users. A XML sitemap protocol is specifically intended for search engine spiders. At its root, XML is a file that includes all the behind the scenes activity on a web site.
