The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address ought to be retrieved. In 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 and the site content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server deals with the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure a message can be delivered to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are used, so that you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each Internet domain has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
