The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the range of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL in 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 address is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the web site content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server takes care of the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure a message can be delivered to the needed mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted using the company whose name servers are used, so that you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every Internet domain has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
