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 address, so when you open a URL inside an Internet browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name must be retrieved. This way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the website content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server detects which server manages the emails for the domain (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any change of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are employed, so you're able to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every Internet domain has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
