A parasol is made with fabric of some kind, used for blocking the sun or as an accessory. It's useless against rain.

An umbrella is made with a waterproof material and is intended for protection from rain.

So, Neo's... weapon... is more of a parasol. But on the other hand, you can consider a parasol to be a type of umbrella.
