Base of a power
In 2 to the fifth power (25), the 2 is called the base and the 5 is called the exponent. This expression equals 2*2*2*2*2 = 32.

Power
In the expression: 4³ = 64, the 3 is called the exponentor the power. You would read this as "four to the power of three" or "four cubed".But if it meant 34 = 81, which is read '3 to the 4th power' or '4th power of 3', then the 3 is called the base.
In the expression 45 the 4 is the base and the 5 is the exponent.
The power could then be called an exponent. The number that is being raised to a power is called the base. In the case of 42, the exponent is 2 and the base is 4.

45 - The number at the bottom (4) is the base; the small number at the top (5) is the exponent.

The exponential expression a^n is read a to the nth power. In this expression, a is the base and n is the exponent. The number represented by a^n is called the nth power of a.When n is a positive integer, you can interpret a^n as a^n = a x a x ... x a (n factors).
