Answer:

implied analogy

Step-by-step explanation:

While a metaphor is literally false, the analogy is literally true. A metaphor is a figure of speech that you might use to communicate something while an analogy is a perceived likeness between two thing.

You can say that the metaphor is how it is expressed, while the analogy is what is expressed. A metaphor is one way of expressing analogy. While a metaphor is always an analogy when it comes to comparing two things, the opposite is not necessarily true.
