A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and which you should use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, in such a 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 in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can protect them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, like your business details, for example.
