@shivey, good question. As per NCI definitions:
The parametrium is fat and connective tissue that surrounds the uterus. It helps connect the uterus to other tissues in the pelvis.

The omentum is the fold of the peritoneum (the thin tissue that lines the abdomen) that surrounds the stomach and other organs in the abdomen.
