A parallel interface is a data connection in which some number of bits (for example the 8 bits of a byte, or maybe 16 or 32 bits) are all sent simultaneously down separate wires. Whilst this can be a fast method of transmission, the speed and physical length of the connection are limited by the fact that slight differences in the path lengths may mean that not all bits arrive quite together.
