The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. In this way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the website content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server discovers which server handles the emails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are used, so that you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each Internet domain has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
