It was inititially recognised as the ratio between the radius and circumference of a perfect circle. The radius times "Pi" equals the circumference of a perfect circle.
PI the 16th greek letter is the circumference divided by the diameter of a circle. For example 40.5/12.89 = PI.
3.14 is short for pi. Pi can go on forever and ever. It's just a rounded number of pi to make things easier to understand.

Pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet
'pi' is the lower case letter 'p' from the Classical Greek Alphabet. It refers to 'proportion, because for all circles, however, large of small , the constant of proportion (p/pi) between the circumference and the diameter is 3.141592.... , which is an irrational number, which means it cannot be converted to a ratio/fraction. Casually, the decimals recur to infinity and there is no regular order in the decimal digits. Algebraically, Circumference is directly proportional to diameter. Reduced to letters C is directly proportional to d. This is then equated with a constant(k) C = k*d k = C/d From ancient times the 'k' was substituted by 'pi/p' as it refers to 'proportion'. Hence we have pi = C/d or C = pi*d 'd' being the length of two(2) radii is substitutied again as C = 2pir In school/college, when learning about circle geometry, you will probably be given pi = 3.14, 3.1416 or 22/7 . These figures are only APPROXIMATIONS, but are given for ease of learning.
PI the 16th greek letter is the circumference divided by the diameter of a circle. For example 40.5/12.89 = PI.
Because pi = 0.5*tau
3.14 is short for pi. Pi can go on forever and ever. It's just a rounded number of pi to make things easier to understand.
Any circle's circumference divided by its diameter has a value of pi

who invented, or came up with "pi" in math? How did they come up with the estimation of 3.14?
Pi r squared comes from the formula to find the area of a circle.
I have not yet come across a calculator with a single button for pi, but pi equals 22 divided by 7(3.142...). Hope I helped.
