An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. They can have faces/bases which are triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons or heptagons.
It can be a heptagon (heptagonal pyramid), hexagon (hexagonal prism), square (square based bipyramid). There are versions with pentagonal or triangular bases but I cannot think of their names.

a octahedron has 8 faces
An octahedron has eight faces - by definition.
The answer to your question, is an Octahedron.
To construct an octahedron using square pyramids, you need a total of 8 square pyramids. Each pyramid can be placed with its base facing outward, sharing a vertex at the center of the octahedron. This arrangement allows the pyramids to form the eight triangular faces of the octahedron.
It can be but need not be. A heptagon-based pyramid is an octahedron. However, the term is often used for the Platonic solid bounded by eight equilateral triangles - in the form of two square based pyramids stuck together base-to-base.
A regular tetrahedron. octahedron, dodecahedron.

A regular octahedron is a Platonic solid with equilateral triangles for each of the faces. A heptagonal pyramid is an octahedron with one heptagon (a seven sided figure) as its base and 7 triangles, one attached to each side, meeting at the either vertex.
This object is called an octahedron
An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. The various octahedra have faces which may be triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons or heptagons. Any one of these could be a base.
An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. The simplest octahedron to make is probably the heptagon based right pyramid. The net for this shape is a regular heptagon with seven identical triangles attached to its edges. If the triangles are folded to meet at a point above the heptagonal base you will have an octahedron.
It can be a heptagon (heptagonal pyramid), hexagon (hexagonal prism), square (square based bipyramid). There are versions with pentagonal or triangular bases but I cannot think of their names.
A tetrahedron, a triangle based pyramid, an octahedron, an icosahedron plus many more.
One difference: An octahedron has 8 faces, a triangular prism has 5. An octahedron (="eight faces") is a regular high-symmetry solid with all the faces identical. A triangular prism has a triangular base, a triangular roof, and 3 rectangular sides (walls).
