hexahedron is the name of a 3d hexagon
A hexagon is a 2d shape with six sides, a hexahedron is a 3d shape with six faces.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexahedron Generally, a hexahedron is any polyhedron with six faces, most commonly a cube. No hexahedron has a hexagon for any of its faces; most have squares or triangles.
The answer depends on how many of the 5 to 8 vertices of the hexagon are truncated.
A two dimensional figure with 6 sides is a hexagon. 3d=>hexahedron

Hexahedron
hexahedron
A hexagon is a plane (2-dimensional) figure whereas a hexahedron is a solid (3-dimensional) shape. A hexagon is bounded by six straight lines whereas a hexahedron is bounded by six polygons.

Hexa - examples: hexadecimal, hexagon, hexahedron, hexomino
No - shapes ending with the prefix -gon are polygons, not prisms. A generic name for a six-faced polyhedron is a hexahedron.
