There is an element in most stoves that heats up to a bright red. When you broil something, it is usually set close to this heating element, and watched closely to prevent burning. Bread, steaks, fish, vegetables, or anything that requires a sort of nice browning is put under the broiler. The charring adds to the taste of the dish. Sometimes you broil meat first to seal in the juices so when you bake it the rest of the way, it stays moist.
Another answer is where you put food directly under heat source. Put on top rack oven.

∙ 12y agoTo broil food means that it is cooked over direct heat like barbecue.
Baking surrounds the food with heated air within a closed space.
Broiling exposes the food to a very high heat source above or below the food, and is best done in an open space.

∙ 8y agoFrom what I can tell, parbroiling is cooking in the oven, "broiling" foods until they are mostly cooked (75-80%) and then removing them. By removing them at this stage they are mostly cooked and can be stored until a later date (refrigerator or freezer) and finished cooking then when the time it takes to cook is much shorter. Or the food items can be transfered to another cooking surface, such as a grill, to finish the cooking and ensure evenly cooked food that has the presentation of being grilled. This saves meat and vegetables from being charred on the grill.
I am not a chef and this information has been compiled from a number of sources, but I . Also search parbaking and parboiling, not the same, but similar approaches to the respective cooking methods.

∙ 10y agoBroiling is a means of cooking quickly with dry heat, with the food placed near the heat source. The broiler is located in the top of the oven. You would place the top oven rack at a specified distance from the broiler to allow the food to cook. This requires constant watching and precise timing.
