From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

An xsl:template declaration defines a template, which contains a sequence constructor for creating nodes and/or atomic values.

A template parameter is a local variable with the additional property that its value can be set when the template is called, using any of the instructions xsl:call-template, xsl:apply-templates, xsl:apply-imports, or xsl:next-match.
