Metonymy: substituting the name of an attribute or feature for the name of the thing itself
Synecdoche: substituting a more inclusive term for a less inclusive one, or vice versa

He has many mouths to feed. (synecdoche)
The kettle is boiling. (metonymy)
Education extends from the cradle to the grave. (metonymy)
