Why does Spring already have pom.xml with that I didn't download Maven yet?

I created a new Spring Legacy Project. There was a file pom.xml that can be used to easily download any library by putting 'dependency' in my understanding.

When I search about 'Maven', people say that is to easily maintain the libraries with pom.xml.

I haven't downloaded or installed Maven. but I still can control the libraries though pom.xml. How come?

I'm using STS to study the Spring project.

Because your JAVA IDE (e.g., Eclipse, IntelliJ) contains an embedded Maven installation (via its plug-in) which allows you to start working on a Maven project immediately.
