The funnel of a tornado is the result of moisture inside a tornado condensing. As the air rises it cools, allowing more moisture to condense, therefore the funnel gets wider the higher up you go.
A tornado is called a funnel because of its shape - it often appears as a rotating column of air that narrows towards the base, resembling a funnel or a cone. This funnel shape is created as the tornado draws in debris and moisture from the ground, giving it its characteristic appearance.
Tornadoes take on a spiral shape because the winds in them spin and move upward. This is because tornadoes originate from the rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm. The updraft gets this rotation from wind shear.
Yes. Tornadoes vary greatly in size and shape, ranging from narrow and threadlike spin-ups, to massive cones and vertical columns, to enormous wedge tornadoes that appear wider than they are tall.
A cone-shaped tornado is simple a tornado whose funnel is cone-shaped. Tornado funnels may also appear rope-like, column-like, or appear wispy. The shape and size of a tornado do not necessarily indicate how strong the tornado is.
The apex angle is the angle in a cone that the apex, or point, of the cone takes. This is measured from two opposite sides of the cone, which is found by drawing a line from the apex to the center of the circular base, then drawing a plane through this line and using the lines of the plane's intersection of the cone to measure the angle.
Tornadoes are generally funnel or cone shaped.

A cone. I think :)

Tornadoes come in a variety of shapes. Most commonly they appear as an elephant truck or elongated cone. In other cases they may take the shape of a wider cone, or an hourglass. Some appear as simple vertical columns while others look like massive wedges driven into the ground.
Neither. A cone is a cone.

No. Tornadoes vary in shape. While the classic shape of a tornado is that of an elongated cone or elephant trunk, tornadoes may appear as balls of dust, massive wedges, and nearly perfect vertical columns. Some tornadoes even have multiple funnels.

A cone! Obviously.....
The shape described by the intersection of the cone and the plane is simply a circle.
