We're having a hard time making out the dark grey area from here.
But the intersection of a plane and a sphere is always a circle.
The dark area is so dark that I'm unable to see it from here. But I do know that in general, the intersection of a plane and a sphere is a circle.
A circle, which could degenerate to a point.

a circle!
It has a curved surface.

The shape described by the intersection of the cone and the plane is simply a circle.

If your question is " What is the shape of a sphere's tangent?" , then the answer is : a plane. A plane basically touches the sphere at only one point and hence , it should be a plane. It cannot be a straight line , as a straight line is a tangent for 2D objects,( ie.) a circle.
not quite a cirlcel but an oblong circle.
It is a horizontal cross-section. Its shape will depend on the shape of the solid and its orientation.
In geometry, the only shape that has one surface is a plane.
