What type of rhyme is present when the words are similar in appearance and have same final vowel consonant sound such as lotion motion.?

The type of rhyme present in words like "lotion" and "motion" is called eye rhyme.

Here's why:

* Similar appearance: They look alike when written, even though they have different spellings.

* Same final vowel consonant sound: They sound the same when spoken.

Key point: Eye rhymes are sometimes called false rhymes because they don't actually rhyme perfectly in terms of their spelling.
