Strange, I see this in the Emacs manual (Node "Rectangles"):
When you must specify a rectangle for a command to work on, you do it
by putting the mark at one corner and point at the opposite corner. The
rectangle thus specified is called the "region-rectangle" because you
control it in much the same way as the region is controlled. But
remember that a given combination of point and mark values can be
interpreted either as a region or as a rectangle, depending on the
command that uses them.
Can you explain how did you searched and why did you miss this? I
suspect that something in the manual needs to be improved to make
finding this easier.
TIA
