cylindrical shape
Can's basic geometry
A cylindrical shape is a three-dimensional form with straight parallel sides and circular ends—like a can, pipe, or tube.
The term appears in contexts where the specific object matters less than its geometry: The tank has a cylindrical shape, cells arranged in a cylindrical shape.
Often redundant with simply "cylinder."
