That is the seed stalk. Parsley is biennial and lives two years. In its second year it sends up a flower stalk which will produce seed heads you can save to grow more parsley.
If your parsley is only in its first year and is producing a seed stalk, it is "bolting." That means it is producing seed early due to unfavorable conditions such as high heat outdoors.
