A cylinder has a circular cross section, a rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section.
They have the same number of edges, faces and vertices.
They are similar, however, the distinctiion is that the pyramid has a rectangular base with triangular faces meeting in a vertex (thus forming the pyramid shape), while the prism has a congruent (identical) cross-section, like a loaf of bread. So the prism has two rectangular "ends".
