Is the expression IN PARENTHESIS correct in English or it has to be written using the plural i.e. IN PARENTHESES?

Most of the time, the plural would be correct. Sometimes you might avoid the phrase altogether by just putting the item in parentheses (like this). Saying it and then doing it is redundant.
The main meaning of the word parenthesis is a comment, amplification, or explanation of something in the narrative. You can think of it as a pause, or an aside, that is added almost like a footnote (but without the need to add a formal reference). They may also separate a comment that seems not to fit (in a grammatical sense) the narrative style.
In many contexts, you can avoid the issue by using the adjective "parenthetical" instead of the phrase in question. For instance, replace:
"the names listed in parentheses"
with:
"the parenthetical list of names"
This approach might not work well in a style guide, e.g.,
"For each billing category, provide three supporting examples enclosed in parentheses."
