You start with a quadrilateral based bipyramid, which has six vertices. At each vertex, remove the tip in the form of a quadrilateral based pyramid. You will be left with a truncated octahedron.

Why is a truncated octahedron called a truncated octahedron?

Start with an octahedron in the form of a quadrilateral based dipyramid a regular octahedron is a special case of this). This shape has six vertices - chop these off so as to remove a quadrilateral based pyramid. You will be left with a truncated octahedron. It is an octahedron which has been truncated (shortened) by cutting off its extremities.

What shape has 16 vertices 24 edges and 10 faces?

The shape you are describing is a truncated octahedron. A truncated octahedron is a polyhedron with 16 vertices, 24 edges, and 10 faces. It is created by truncating an octahedron by cutting off its corners, resulting in a shape with hexagonal and square faces.
