A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most frequent use of a TXT record is to add your website to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides info about the traffic to your website. Setting up this kind of a record can serve as verification that you are the domain owner and they'll provide the content that you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to validate that an email message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which prevents any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out unsolicited mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could include any other info which you want to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
