Implicit means not actually stated. An implicit paragraph would be one where the author never actually writes out a formal topic or main idea sentence, but where he or she plainly gets the point across without every saying it. You can write implicit paragraphs only where the idea is so general or well known that almost everybody will get the idea just from reading, without it being stated in a separate sentence.
Some fables and folktales are good examples of implicit writing - they tell a story that, if you are familiar with the culture, clearly gives the reader a moral lesson without stating that lesson anywhere.
An explicit paragraph leaves no uncertain terms of information. An implicit paragraph provides a point that is less clear.

When a paragraph is explicit, it contains all the information you need to make it understandable-- in other words, it gives you the facts, and it is very clear about the meaning the author is trying to convey. A paragraph that is implicit "implies"-- in other words, it hints at the meaning. It may use similes and metaphors or other kinds of images, and it does not come right out and say it-- it lets the reader think about it and draw a conclusion about what the author is trying to say.
