A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that holds information in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a given domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, in this case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your company details, for instance.
