It's a Sexp motion.

OK. Do you want it to return an error if there's no element at the same
level above (or below for the forward counterpart)?

But `org-forward-element'/`org-backward-element' are the paragraph
commands for Org. Unlike to Text mode, contents in Org have a depth. So
it's not just about stopping at blank lines. Even stopping at blank
lines is not satisfying:

  XParagraph
  | a | table |

  Another paragraph

A decent forward paragraph command should stop at the table here. On the
other hand, it doesn't make much sense to stop at the blank line below:

  X#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  ;; line 1

  ;; line 2
  #+end_src
  Another paragraph

When depth isn't involved, I think that `org-forward-element' is as good
as it can get as a paragraph motion command, and far better than
`forward-paragraph' from "paragraphs.el".
