A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a given domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your sites as well. However, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also used when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can shield them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, such as your company details, for instance.
