The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL in a web browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address ought to be retrieved. That way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the web site content is required from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server handles the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so that a message can be forwarded to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is performed with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, enabling you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every single domain name has a minimum of two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
