The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, so you can see the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.
