Question Explain what is meant by the processor being sequential devices that imitate parallel processes?

I honestly dont even understand this question, can someone please help me!

In parallel each process can run independently. PC architecture is not parallel at this point so all instructions on the central processing unit are handled sequentially. The system try to make it more parallel by breaking things up and doing things and certain orders but it’s not really parallel it’s all sequential
