It sounds like this describes the conic section which is 2 straight lines intersecting at the origin [degenerate form of a hyperbola], but I may be misunderstanding the phrasing of the question.

What is the figure called formed by the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane that lies parallel to the edge of the cone?
A parabola is the figure formed by the intersection of a circular cone and a plane that lies parallel to the edge of the cone. (the cone does not have to be a right [90°] circular cone).

It is the cross-section of the figure by the plane.
Why are conic section called conic sections?
Circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas are called conic sections because they can be obtained as a intersection of a plane with a double- napped circular cone. If the plane passes through vertex of the double-napped cone, then the intersection is a point, a pair of straight lines or a single line. These are called degenerate conic sections. Because they are sections of a cone or a cone shaped object.
