Parasitic resistance is resistance that you encounter in a circuit board or integrated circuit but not included in the original design -- an undesirable, unintended consequence of putting a concept into manufacturing. Since parasitic resistance does exist, you need to estimate its value and make sure the design still functions as intended. An example of parasitic resistance is the resistance of the traces in a circuit board or metal interconnects in an IC, the purpose of which is to connect components electrically according to the circuit diagram, but these connecting structures are not ideal. These connecting structures most likely also add parasitic capacitance and inductance to your design and, if substantial, should be included in your design (back-annotation) accordingly.
