The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the range of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL within an Internet browser, your PC asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. That way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the site content is required from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server deals with the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be forwarded to the right mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted using the company whose name servers are employed, so that you can keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each and every domain has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
