Germanium itself is not inherently a cation or anion; it is a neutral element with the atomic number 32. It can form cations by losing electrons, typically in compounds when it has a +2 or +4 oxidation state. Conversely, it can also form anions in specific contexts, but this is less common. Thus, whether germanium is a cation or anion depends on its chemical environment and bonding.
