Short answer - no. It is true that Google looks at your internal link structure to see what the most important pages are on your site. So, if you have a link in your footer that is on every single page of the site, you are telling Google that this is an important page for your site.
That is only half the equation.
If the page you link to is a sitemap (a page with a bunch of internal links on it) then this will help Google find and crawl those pages, but since the sitemap is simply a list of links, it will not rank for anything etc.
The sitemap is simply a tool to help Google find all the pages on your site. It does not mean those pages will rank well. If you want a page to rank well, you have to have good content on it and also good external links to it (to keep this point simple).
If this is an HTML sitemap that you have setup, I would suggest also setting up an XML sitemap on your site and submitting that via Google Search Console. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/156184?hl=en You can then not only help Google further crawl your site, but Search Console gives you feedback on if there are any errors in the XML sitemap and what your ratio is of pages that Google finds in the XML sitemap to how many Google has indexed.

Disavowing Links
I need some advice... I've noticed our link profile has increased with many comments links --- something I certainly have not pursued manually. I'm new to disavowing links. However, before I go ahead and disavow them, I'd like to ask how harmful these links are and would you recommend this is something I can do myself (relatively novice SEO) or if you'd recommend someone who could do this for a reasonable cost. In one instance, the link from this comment thread is with the anchor text, "porn"... Certainly not something we want to rank for, haha! I look forward to your advice

Internal Linking
OSE only shows me as having 24 internal links on my home page. My internal links and total links are far less than my competitors, some of whom have 1700 on a single page. My site is www.CenterCityTeam.com and an example of a competitor with far more internal links is www.McCannTeam.com. 1) How do I get that many internal links on a page and 2) do I even want to?

Ecomerce: Would 4 link sections leak too much link juice?
Hello, In my content management for our ecomerce site, I've found that there are sometimes links to sites in our industry that have "helpful links" sections. Several strong sites link directly to these resource sections. There are 4 different topics that fit this trend in our industry. Would it leak too much link juice to make 4 comprehensive link sections and place a link to them on our "Useful Articles" page? Or should I stick to one comprehensive link section? Or perhaps a small link section? Or none at all? Thanks.

Multiple Links from High Ranking Site Vs. Links from Multiple Domains - What's More Important?
I understand it is important to get links from many quality domains. Currently, I do have links from top domains (PR, Trust) and it I can get more from (high rank) pages on these same domains. Would it be better to focus on expanding my reach (find additional domains to link from) or to continue to build links from the current domains I have a connection with? What is weighted more? I realize doing both is important, but trying to figure out how to best use my time. Thanks! David

Are 36 links from one site to nested pages better than one link to the root domain?
I have a Driving School website www.1stclassdriving.co.uk. The site is structured geographically with 36 area pages, one

page per area post code and one page per Driving Instructor. I am trying to develop links and have found a site (da91 pa
63) where I can create area links to each of my area pages if I
wish. Is it best to just create one link to the root page or
should I create 36 individual links to each area page? - which is most valuable?0
