What is the 2d parallel shape that's a cross section of a cylinder?

The 2D parallel shape that represents a cross section of a cylinder is a circle. When a cylinder is sliced parallel to its base, each cross section reveals a circular shape, regardless of where the cut is made along the height of the cylinder. This circular cross section maintains the same diameter as the bases of the cylinder.
