The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you insert the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, so that you can view the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.
