What's your definition of 'paragraph'? If 'a distinct section of a piece of writing, usually dealing with a single theme and indicated by a new line, indentation, or numbering.' is good enough, then, no, Apache Solr won't do a variable sized fragment, to match an entire paragraph.
The closest you get is through the regular expression* hl.fragmenter *from the original highlighter: https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/query-guide/highlighting.html#original-highlighter and the * boundary scanner of the fast vector highlighter: * https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/query-guide/highlighting.html#using-boundary-scanners-with-the-fastvector-highlighter But it would definitely be useful, and cool to develop and contribute!
