Cylinders are vertically formed by tracks. In other words, track 12 on platter 0 plus track 12 on platter 1 etc. is cylinder 12. The number of cylinders of a disk drive exactly equals the number of tracks on a single surface in the drive.
So, in order to access a particular cylinder from a track we do not need to move R/W head from that particular track.

Does it really mean that the entire platter is the cylinder?

Track (track number N) from all discs (vertically) forms a cylinder.
Since cylinder is rotating we no need to move the R/W head to access the data.

I know only, the cylinder is nothing but group of disks. So, these group of disks (cylinder) can't help to provide the movement of read/write head.
