The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL within an Internet browser, your PC asks the DNS servers globally where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. With this a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the website content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server manages the emails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be delivered to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted using the company whose name servers are employed, so you can keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Every single Internet domain has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
