A Note About Popular Terminology
At least in the USA, popular usage sometimes refers to the whole assembly of cylinder, piston, and piston rod (or more) collectively as a "piston", which is incorrect. See, for instance, "Hydraulic piston raises the table from 19 (in.) to 26 (in.)" Marine Tables, Inc. (Select item 3 of 8, near the bottom.)
