The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain must be retrieved. That 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 IP address and the website content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server deals with the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be delivered 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, so you can keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Every domain address has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
