A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain name or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of confirming that you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that you should use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your Internet sites as well. However, in this 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 additionally employed in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can shield them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, like your business details, for example.
