Well they are different shapes:
prism:
A solid object that has two identical ends and all flat sides.
The cross section is the same all along its length.
The shape of the ends give the prism a name, such as "triangular prism"
It is also a polyhedron.
Pyramid:
A solid object where:
The base is a polygon (a straight-sided shape)
The sides are triangles which meet at the top (the apex).
It is a polyhedron.
This is a square pyramid, but there are also triangular pyramids, pentagonal pyramids, and so on.
Difference:
In a pyramid there are 4 faces which are triangular in shape and there is 1 face which is a square which is its base. On the other hand, A prism has 3 rectangular faces and 2 equilateral triangular faces which work as its base.
Similarity:
Both of them have triangular faces. Actually I don't find any similarity between them, except that and they are polyhedrons. Plus the base of a pyramid alters the name of the pyramid, just like the end of a prism does.

How many faces does a pyramid prism have?
faces i geuss * * * * * A pyramid and a prism are two different kinds of polyhedra. There cannot be a pyramid prism just as there cannot be a square triangle!
Is it true that every pyramid is a prism?
no, that is not true, it obvious that pyramid and prism are not the same(except they are both 3D shapes).
Does a triangular prism and pyramid have the same number of vertices?
No. A triangular prism has six vertices. A square pyramid has five vertices. A triangular pyramid has four vertices.
How is hexagonal prism different to a hexagonal pyramid?
A hexagonal prism has 2 hexagon faces and a hexagonal pyramid has 1 hexagonal face.
Is a sphere a prism or a pyramid?
is a sphere a prisam
Tell one way a rectangular prism and a pyramid are different?
A rectangular prism has the same cross section throughout its length, a pyramid doesn't however
Is it supposed to be hexagonal pyramid or prism?

What is different about a prism nd pyramid?
A prism has the same shape at each side while a pyramid has a vertex as one side and all sides except for the base are a part of the vertex
