The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers info about the targeted traffic to your site. Creating this kind of a record can serve as verification that you are the domain address owner and they'll provide the content you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to validate that an e-mail message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF security, that prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out spam making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other information that you'd like to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.
