A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which holds data in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and which you should use as the record value. The very same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your websites as well. Needless to say, in this case 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 also used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains data showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, just like your business details, for instance.
