Knowledge Base article:

Summary

A BizTalk application service corresponds to a BizTalk host instance which is the physical installation of a host in a BizTalk Server. After you create a host (a logical container), you can add physical BizTalk servers (host instances) to the host, typically, an administrator uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or the BizTalk Administration console to install host instances. The host instance is essentially btsntsvc.exe service, it runs on the BizTalk Server runtime machines and is responsible for running all the artifacts included in the given BizTalk Host.

The health of BizTalk Application service depends on the availability and status of the host instance service (btsntsvc.exe).
