The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the range of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL in a browser, your PC asks the DNS servers globally where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name 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 web site content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server deals with the emails for the domain name (MX record) so a message can be sent to the correct mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is performed 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. Each and every Internet domain has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
