With oe-pkgdata-util, we can find out the recipe name of a particular file in root file system or given the recipe we can find out what all files it places in the root file system.

Is there any way to find out who includes a particular recipe into the image. For example i have the files of xserver-nodm-init recipe into my yocto image, but i have not added IMAGE_INSTALL += "xserver-nodm-init" in my local.conf, so is there any way to find out who has included this as their dependency.

you can generate dependency graph using

bitbake -g <image>

it will generate dependency graph in dotty file format. You can view it in dotty or in a editor

Flattened recipe dependencies are saved to 'recipe-depends.dot' if needed to go into task level dependencies then looking into 'task-depends.dot' might be helpful.
