The apex, and the shape of the base does not make a difference to what it is called.
A pyramid is not a prism because it only has one base and a rectangular prism has 2 bases.Among other things, a rectangular prism has 6 faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges.A rectangular pyramid has 5 faces, 5 vertices and 8 edges.Rectangular prisms can be described as a "box". They do not have an apex (the vertice where all the edges meet. On the contrary, a pyramid does have an apex. It is located on the top of the pyramid.
A prism is defined as a solid (or three dimensional) geometrical shape in which the sides are parallel, whereas in a pyramid the sides are not parallel and they all come together in an apex.

No.
No, a prism does not have an apex. A prism is a solid geometric figure with two parallel and congruent bases that are connected by lateral faces. The apex refers to the highest point or vertex of a shape, which is not applicable to prisms.

(if the question is: which of the following are polyhedrons?) your answer is: pyramid and prism ( apex )
The apex, and the shape of the base does not make a difference to what it is called.
A cone has a curved surface and only has one base (the bottom). A prism however, has two bases (the top and bottom) and has only polygonal faces. A cone also has an apex which a prism doesn't.

He discovers what is known as the rainbow, by using a prism to show that light is made up of all of those colors.
An octagonal prism has an octagonal base and 8 triangular faces rising to an apex. A cone, on the other hand, has a circular base and one curved surface rising to an apex.
A hexagonal prism has hexagons at each end whereas a hexagonal pyramid has a hexagonal base and an apex. The numbers of faces, shapes of the faces, numbers of edges and vertices are all different.
