XML sitemap is for search engines, telling search engines about the files of your site in order for fast indexing. HTML sitemap is for People or users it is a location where you get complete details of the website pages or url.

Html sitemap is used for human(user) to find particular webpage and easily navigate. Xml sitemap is not readable for human point of view. It is used by Google to crawl and index of your web pages.

HTML sitemaps are human readable and can be viewed by human users, while XML sitemap is a coded sitemap used for search engine crawling. Having a XML sitemap submitted to webmaster account helps to crawl your webpages faster.

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. Not just the site's main URL, but all the URLs within the site along with the associated metadata. This can include when the URL was last updated, how important it is, the average frequency changes occur, the URLs relation to the rest of the site, etc.
HTML is just a general overview of the site, just the pages and info a user needs to be concerned with. If you're on a web site and you're looking for the shopping cart or the 'Contact Us' page and can't find it, you'd go to the sitemap and easily find it there. While this is geared towards the user, it can also help your search engine ranking because your site is user-friendly and catering to the site visitor.

Xml is for data, Html is for pages. You'll see enterprises nowadays using xml for data interchange, and you'll see them using html for their pages, styling them with Css inline styles or .css files. you can however show xml data with xsl, which is just a way to process the data and display it.
