A prism is a geometric solid that has two parallel, congruent bases and rectangular or parallelogram-shaped lateral faces. In optics, a prism is used to refract light, dispersing it into its constituent colors, such as in a rainbow effect. Prisms can also refer to a way of viewing or interpreting information, suggesting a particular perspective or lens through which to analyze situations or concepts.

what does prism mean in science language
It depends on what kind of prism you mean. For example, a rectangular prism has 6 bases and a triangular prism has 5 bases. A triangular prism only has two bases.
Did you mean vertices? A rectangular prism would have 8 vertices.

First, by sides, you mean faces. Second, by square prism, you mean cube. That said, a cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. * * * * * No, second. By square prism you do not need to mean cube. A cuboid : AxAxB is a prism of length B and a square cross-section of AxA units.
A prism can have a triangular cross-section with a rectangular base
