The international date line is measured approximately from the 180 degree median longitude line. This is an arbitrary line that determines when a date change takes place within the day.

What is an imaginary line that runs from the north pole to the south pole and roughly follows the 180th meridian and in the plates where the day begins?
The Equator is the imaginary line that runs east and west half way between the north and south poles. The equator has a latitude of 0 degrees which divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The Equator is one of the five named circles of latitude on Earth. Going from North to South, the circles of latitude are called the Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Antarctic Circle.
What is the imaginary line on the earth's surface closely follows 180 degree meridian is called?
prime meridian International Date Line
Is the international date line a line of latitude?
No, the international date line is a line of longitude, not latitude.
At what maridian is the international date line?
Roughly 180o, the date line wiggles to avoid passing over inhabited land so that people don't have the complication of living with the dateline passing through their town.

What is the imaginary line runs from the north pole to south pole roughly follows 180 meridian and is the place where the day begins?
That would be the "International Date Line" which is skillfully drawn to avoid crossing any land mass.
Is one hundred eighty longitude the international date line?
It is roughly, but the actual date line deveates around some islands and territories.
Is the international date line a parallel?
No. It crosses all of the parallels, and generally follows the 180° meridian.
