The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL within a web browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain should be retrieved. This way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the website content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server discovers which server manages the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each domain name has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
