Difference between a parametrized surface and manifold

What is the difference between a parametrized surface and manifold?

Is it true that if $M \subset \mathbb R^n$ is an $n$-dimensional parametrized surface it is also a (parametrized?) manifold? I am stuck with understanding the concept of a manifold. In which cases would a parametrized surface not be parametrized manifold or vice versa?
