A square pyramid has five faces, one of which is a square and the remaining four are triangles. Conventionally such a pyramid is called a square BASED pyramid and in that context it has only one base. [That definition is used to distinguish it from a pentagonal pyramid, a hexagonal pyramid, etc.] However, any one of the five faces can be at the bottom.
