None of us can know what it means, unless you tell us about the schema you're
using.
You might be using Docbook, in which case <para> means "paragraph".
Or into extreme sports, in which case it might mean something related to
"parachute".
If it's something military, <para> might mean "paratroop".
Or something about political extremism, in which case it might mean
"para-military".
Or mathemiatical, where it might mean "parameter".
Etc.
Unhelpfully,
Richard.

Thanks Michael.
Is the following statement true about a para element:
"When you find a para element, you're only moving on to the
next para element with the same name - if there isn't one you
stop, so the section elements afterwards are ignored."
Regards,
Swati

What exactly is a para element?
It's whatever you want it to be. Or rather, what the designer
of the XML vocabulary you are using wants it to be. For
example, if your input is DocBook, then para is what the
DocBook definition says it is; if your input is XHTML, then
you need to turn to the XHTML definition. That's the whole
point about XML: anyone can define their own vocabulary, and
the tags have no meaning except in the context of a specific
vocabulary.
