There are a few commands that do this, the most obvious one is \text{}, 
specifically used to do so.

There are also commands that will take you into math mode in a similar 
fashion. For example, if you use \boxed{} in the middle of a paragraph, 
whatever is put into the box is typeset in math mode.
