Well, at least in Polyhedrons, a Vertex is the point at the tip of a pyramid, apex is at the end of the cone.
An apex is the top of a pyramid or cone. Technically, the apex is a vertex due to its vertex-like corner. Prisms DO NOT have apexes. They only have vertexes because they do not rise up like a pyramid.
----------------------------------------------------------------
An apex is usually pointed end of an object; the tip; a point of culmination.
A vertex is usually the highest point or in mathematics , the point at which the sides of an angle intersect; the point on a triangle or pyramid opposite to and farthest away from its base.
Some apexes may also be vertices.

What is the difference between a cone sphere and a cylinder?
sphere has 1 face and no vertex and it rolls but cone has 2 faces and it can roll and it has 1 vertex
What is the highest point over your head known as?
Apex, or vertex
What is apex in a pyramid?
It is the vertex at which all the triangular faces meet.
What is the tip or a triangle called?
The vertex or the apex. I prefer apex to describe the upper most tip of a triangle.
Can the top of a cone be called something besides vertex?
A cone does not have a vertex. A vertex is defined as a point where two lines meet; a triangle has three vertices, and the angular face of a pyramid has a vertex. However, a cone is a three-dimensional figure and has a curved surface. The base of a cone is circular. The top of the cone is a single point called the apex of the cone.
