A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is in fact 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 being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your websites as well. However, 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 also employed in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, just like your company details, for example.
