Coriander is actually part of the parsley family. Its leaves (technically called cilantro) have a stronger, more distinctive flavor that can dominate a dish (as opposed to plain, or Italian parsley, that is more mild). For many, it's an acquired taste -- some people feel it tastes like soap. In addition, coriander seeds (really the mature, dried fruit) are used as a separate spice (tasting nothing like the leaves), generally ground and served in Middle Eastern dishes along with spices like Cumin.
Coriander is sometimes called "Chinese Parsley", and all parts of the plant can be used in cooking. The seeds are used in a variety of situations - even in some cookies - and the leaves are better known as "Cilantro".
