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 group of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name ought to be retrieved. That way 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 website content is required from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server deals with the e-mails for the domain (MX record) to ensure that a message can be delivered to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are used, allowing you to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
