The clue is in the question.
(Wonder why it's not called the 'Prime Parallel'.)
Once you reason out the answer to this one, you might like
to stretch your logic muscles further with a couple of classic
American brain-teasers:
-- Who is buried in Grant's Tomb ?
-- What color is an orange ?
-- When is the Fourth of July celebrated ?

Meridian
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
Parallel: 0o latitude
A Parallel of Latitude
no the equater does

The lines parallel to the equator are called lines of latitude.

Meridian
Nothing is parallel to any meridian. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and is parallel to all the other parallels. This is a big part of the reason that, collectively, they are called 'parallels'.

It is a parallel. It is parallel to the equator.
