Any section cut parallel to the strike direction will show apparent dips of zero. This describes the cliff section in the Precambrian rocks.
​
Since the Paleozoic units are not dipping significantly, they will look to be flat in any vertical section.
​
Hence, they appear to be parallel.

Interesting observation
