Answer:

a cone

Step-by-step explanation:

If the base is circular, then the cone is said to be a "regular" or "circular" cone, much like an ice cream cone.

If the base is elliptical, then it becomes an "elliptical" cone.

Both shapes can be right (where the perpendicular line dropping from the vertex lands on the exact center of the base) or oblique (when the line dropping from the vertex doesn't land on the center of the base)
