What a conic section?
A conic section is a curve formed by the intersection of a plane with a cone (conical surface). If the section is parallel to the base of the cone, the conic section has a fixed diameter and is a circle. Any other plane that does not intersect the apex is either a parabola, a hyperbola, or an ellipse.

Which conic section is a closed curve?
circle and ellipse are closed curved conic section!, from bilal , Pakistan
Does a conic section have vertices?
No, a conic section does not have vertices. If it is a circle, it has a center; if it is a parabola or hyperbola, it has a focus; and if it is an ellipse, it has foci.
What is a conic section formed by the intersection of a right circular cone by a plane that cuts the axis and the surface of the cone called?
It sounds like this describes the conic section which is 2 straight lines intersecting at the origin [degenerate form of a hyperbola], but I may be misunderstanding the phrasing of the question.
Who discovered the conic section?
Leibniz
What is the name of a tapered cylinder with different diameters each end?

Which conic section has a directrix?
Parabolas have directori.
Which shape never have parallel sides?

What conic sections describes a closed curve?
An ellipse is a conic section which is a closed curve. A circle is a special case of an ellipse.
Closed conic section shaped like a flattened circle?

What is the definition of a conic section?
