Reading about DNS servers and was hoping to get some clarification.

As the title says, I've been reading about DNS servers, and I'm just not sure I grasp what the authoritative server is. My book says its "the authority on computer names and their IP addresses for computers in their domains".

Who does this server belong to?

Is it just a server with the specifics of what domains match with what ip addresses?

Does that mean TLD servers just hold info about which authoritative servers have the specific information that is being requested?

Sorry if this was a really dumb question and thanks in advance to anyone who can assist
