The State of the Union is to inform congress of the condition of the US.
The President's State of the Union address is not explicitly mentioned in the United States Constitution.

No, the president does not have to deliver the State of the Union address in person. However, it has been a longstanding tradition for presidents to do so, as it allows them to directly address the American public and outline their agenda for the coming year. In recent history, the State of the Union address has typically been delivered in person before a joint session of Congress.
It has been known as The State of the Union Address since the 1940s; before then it was called "the President's Annual Message to Congress". It does not need to be in the form of a speech, and it does not need to be delivered every year. The U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 3 states, in part, "[The President] shall from time to time give to the Congress Information on the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient..." Throughout the 19th century the Presidents sent the State of the Union to Congress in writing, and it was read by the clerk. Woodrow Wilson revived the practice of delivering the State of the Union orally.
