The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show 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 within a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address should be retrieved. In this way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the site content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server manages the emails for the domain name (MX record) so a message can be delivered to the appropriate mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted using the company whose name servers are used, permitting you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain name has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
