The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, allowing you to see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.
