A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your web site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers information about the web traffic to your site. Creating this kind of a record functions as proof that you are the Internet domain owner and they'll provide the content you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to confirm that an e-mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send spam making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other info you want to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.
