The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL inside a web browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name should be retrieved. With this a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server finds out which server deals with the emails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is performed through the company whose name servers are employed, so you can keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Every single Internet domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
