Description

The rotation of the transform relative to the transform rotation of the parent.

Another example:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;// Rotate a cylinder around the x and z axes. Switch from one to the other
// when the rotation in the current axis reaches 360 degrees.
public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float x;
    private float z;
    private bool rotateX;
    private float rotationSpeed;
    void Start()
    {
        x = 0.0f;
        z = 0.0f;
        rotateX = true;
        rotationSpeed = 75.0f;
    }
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (rotateX == true)
        {
            x += Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed;
            if (x > 360.0f)
            {
                x = 0.0f;
                rotateX = false;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            z += Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed;
            if (z > 360.0f)
            {
                z = 0.0f;
                rotateX = true;
            }
        }
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(x, 0, z);
    }
}
