XC90: How does the parking brake actually work?

Hello together, as you know, I am about to explore the last secrets of this world, ok with my car stop The XC90 has no hand brake, but a parking brake. You pass the small pedal, and the parking brake is activated. So far, so good. But what exactly does the parking brake do? Through the following I came into the pondering: Light gradient, automatic on N, brake. Now activate parking brake, release brake, and …… the car rolls a little bit If the parking brake had the effect like a conventional hand brake, then the car should not have rolled. So, what does the parking brake do? For clarifications xc90s thank you in advance …even if it does not actually use the brake.
