If both nappes of a right circular cone are intersected by a plane that does not pass through the vertex, the intersection will result in two separate conic sections. Depending on the angle of the plane relative to the axis of the cone, the intersections can be ellipses, hyperbolas, or parabolas. If the plane is parallel to the base of the cone, it produces a circle. If it intersects one nappe at an angle, it can form a hyperbola.
When a plane intersects both nappes of a right circular cone without passing through the vertex, the resulting curve is a hyperbola. This occurs because the plane cuts through both sides of the cone, creating two separate branches of the hyperbola. The precise shape and orientation of the hyperbola depend on the angle at which the plane intersects the cone.
When a circular cone is intersected by a plane at only its vertex, the resulting shape is a single point, which is the vertex itself. There are no other intersecting points along the surface of the cone. Thus, no additional geometric figure is formed beyond this singular point.
When a right circular cone is intersected by a plane that passes through its vertex and touches the edge of each nappe, the resulting shape is a triangle. This triangle is formed by the intersection line extending from the vertex to the edges of the cone's surfaces, effectively creating a triangular cross-section of the cone.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex, the resulting curve is a pair of hyperboles.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs perpendicular to the cone's axis but does not pass through its vertex the resulting curve will be a circle.

Two nappes of a right circular cone meet at a point called the vertex.

If I understand your description correctly, a line.
