Google: Internal Linking Gives Google A Sense Of Page Level Importance

Google's John Mueller was asked how someone can help Google understand which pages of a site it really wants Google to index. A webmaster said that Google was only indexing 10% or so of the site's pages in the sitemap file. He asked how can they notate which pages are more important if Google doesn't look at the priority field in XML Sitemaps.
