The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL within a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. This way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the web site content is required from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server takes care of the emails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be sent to the correct mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is done using the company whose name servers are used, so you're able to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each domain address has a minimum of two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
