The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the range of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL in a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. With this a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the website content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server detects which server manages the emails for the domain (MX record) to ensure a message can be delivered to the correct mailbox, etc. Any modification of these sub-records is performed with the help of the company whose name servers are used, so that you can keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each domain name has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
