No, not neccesarily
A prism has two congruent parallel bases.
The parallel bases would be the two triangular faces, on either end of the prism.
parallel polygons.

Both a cylinder and a prism can have parallel and congruent bases.

A prism
No.But is does have two parallel and identical bases.
Yes, a prism has two parallel bases that are congruent shapes. These bases are connected by rectangular or parallelogram-shaped faces. The specific shape of the bases determines the type of prism, such as triangular, rectangular, or hexagonal. The parallel bases are a defining characteristic of all prisms.
Yes, a prism always has two congruent parallel bases. These bases are identical shapes located at opposite ends of the prism, and the sides connecting them are parallelograms. This characteristic defines the prism and distinguishes it from other polyhedra. The congruence and parallelism of the bases are essential for the prism's geometric properties.
Both, a cylinder and a prism have two faces (bases) at either end. These are parallel and identical. A plane that is parallel to these bases will cut the cylinder (or prism) in identical cross sections.
