The purpose of the sandbag parapet was the same as the purpose of the trench itself, to protect the soldiers from the bullets fired by the enemy, and from the blast and flying shrapnel of exploding artillery shells. You dug down to create the trench, but piling the sandbags on the edge at the top raised the amount of protective cover.

I guess you mean "parapet", which is an English word derived from Italian para, guard and petta, the chest. A parapet is the thinner wooden or stone wall which protects soldiers on top of the wall-walk along the top of a castle or fort wall. In later times the term parados referred to a second thin wall at the back of this wall-walk, protecting the soldier's backs.
Castle prapets are usually crenelated (or castellated), having battlements with spaces between for soldiers to shoot bows or crossbows.
In a trench system the parapet is often composed of earth and sandbags forming a low bank along the front top edge of the trench.
