The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you type the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, allowing you to view the content from the proper location. Usually a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.
