A cone does not have a vertex. A vertex is defined as a point where two lines meet; a triangle has three vertices, and the angular face of a pyramid has a vertex. However, a cone is a three-dimensional figure and has a curved surface. The base of a cone is circular. The top of the cone is a single point called the apex of the cone.

Apex.

But this is not a wholly satisfactory answer since it should no longer be the apex when the cone is turned upside down. An apex, by definition, is the topmost point.
