Differences between a Prism and a Pyramid

Prism:

A prism is a polyhedron, with two parallel faces called bases. The other faces are always parallelograms. The prism is named by the shape of its base.

Pyramid:

A polyhedron is a pyramid, if it has 3 or more triangular faces sharing a common vertex. The base of a pyramid may be any polygon. If the base is a triangle too, it has 4 faces.
