it is called a hexagonal prism prisms are named by the shape of their bases

A prism.
Hexagonal Prism
SQUARE
The faces are always rectangles on prisms, so if it's a triangular prism the bases are triangles; if it's a rectangular prism, the bases are rectangles; if it's a hexagonal prism, the bases are hexagons. Any polygon can form the base of a prism. Some people also consider cylinders to be circular prisms. In which case any closed plane shape can form the base of a prism.
There cannot be a 3-d shape all of whose faces are regular hexagons.---that claim above is not true, because for example a classic soccerball consists of hexagons.

A hexagonal prism.
You cannot make a hexagon out of rectangles and so you will never be able to make the two bases of the hexagonal prism. And these two hexagons, after all, are what give the shape its name.
