APEX
Tip of pyramid
Apex is the highest point or tip of something—the apex of a mountain, the apex of a triangle.
By extension, it's the peak or culmination of anything: She reached the apex of her career.
In racing, the apex is the innermost point of a turn, where drivers clip closest to the curb.
As an adjective, apex describes something at the top of a hierarchy: an apex predator sits atop the food chain.
