A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which contains data in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of making sure you are 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 employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. Of course, in this situation 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 if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains info showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, like your company details, as an example.
