The general answer is an ellipse.
This is called an ellipse.

A hyperbola is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone but is not parallel to an edge of the cone. In this case, the plane intersects the cone in such a way that it creates two separate curves, which are the branches of the hyperbola. This occurs because the angle of the plane relative to the cone's axis is greater than the angle of the cone's side but less than that of the edge.
An ellipse which, when the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone, becomes a circle.

An ellipse is produced.
The "conic section" that is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone but that is not parallel to an edge of the cone is known as an ellipse. In the case where the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone, the ellipse becomes a circle.

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 I understand your description correctly, a line.
A parabola.
