A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and which you should use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your web sites as well. However, in this situation the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, just like your business details, as an example.
