Answers:

Each cylinder has an individual coil that delivers the spark energy to the spark plug. Great idea as there are no long ignition wires to handle the job. No chance of resistance problems and the individual coils should run cooler and create a massive long duration spark too ignite lean fuel mixtures.

I think it's the same thing as an ignition coil which is essentially the same thing as a distributor. It's what makes to spark.

It is an ignition coil. If your car is sputtering or revving odd at any level of application this is the problem. It turns your batterys power into the sparks needed for your spark plug to operate...

It's basically a coil. In the past there was a single coil that upped the voltage and was distributed to each spark plug via a distributor.

These days in the newer cars, the coil's signal is sent via an electronic signal. However voltage still needs to be increased. In my Kia Sephia, there are two cylinder coils. Each coil handeled 2 cylinders.

The cylinder coil (at least for the kia sephia) was located under black cover that is on top of the valve cover. I believe the rio is similar. Remove the 2 bolts holding the black cover on top of the valve cover and the cylinder coils should be there with wires connected from the coils to the spark plugs.
