In plain English
Parallel means more than one job is progressing at the same time.

Why it matters
The jobs overlap in time. They can still be different jobs, with different files and different results. Parallel does not mean the jobs are copies of each other, and it does not mean they share one set of unsaved edits.
Common confusion
Parallel work is simultaneous work. It is not a second name for a queueA queue is work waiting to be processed., where jobs wait their turn.
