A Parallel node in plan means it's a parallel aware node.
Parallel Seq Scan: workers work together to scan a table,
Parallel Hash Join: workers work together to make a join.
And in the internal implementation, a Parallel node usually has a technique(shared memory) to sync between workers.
It's confused for Parallel Broadcast Motion, the workers of this node doesn't use such a technique to sync.
The node is not parallel aware, and the real meaning is to send tuples across target slice's workers for each segment.
Let's rename it to Broadcast Workers Motion representing for broadcasting tuples across workers of segments.
