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 range of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL in a web browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name ought to be retrieved. This way 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 website content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server discovers which server handles the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be forwarded to the appropriate mailbox, etc. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are used, allowing you to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every Internet domain has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
