What is a shape with no sides called?

A shape with no sides is most commonly called a circle, which is a curved, 2D shape with zero straight sides and zero vertices (corners). In 3D, a sphere also has no sides or edges, just a continuous surface. Other curved shapes like ovals, ellipses, or cones also lack straight sides, but the circle is the classic example of a shape with no sides at all.
