The question cannot be answered because, unfortunately, you forgot to say what book you are referring to.
Pyramids only have square bases.Triangular prisms have triangle bases.Pyramids have triangle "faces".Triangular prisms have rectangular "faces".
There are Rectangular, Triangular, Pentagonal, and Square Prisms.
Most of the common ones have already been named, so I will not be naming any. Prisms and pyramids are named according to the 2-dimensional shape of their base(s). For example, triangular prism or square based pyramid.
Yes they can.
It makes a sphere
One difference is square pyramids have 4 triangular faces while rectangular prisms have none!

Triangular prisms and square-based pyramids have 5 faces. Trapezoid prisms and cubes have 6 faces. Hexagonal prisms and octahedrons have 8 faces.

Square pyramids have a square base and four triangular faces, while triangular pyramids have a triangular base and three triangular faces. The number of sides and the shape of the base are the main distinguishing factors between the two types of pyramids. Additionally, the angles and dimensions of the faces will vary based on the shape of the base in each type of pyramid.
The pyramids of Egypt were built in a triangular shape to represent a mound. The shape was a representation of the Egyptian belief that the Earth came from a mound. Note that while the pyramids are triangular from the side, they actually occupy a square footprint (i.e. square pyramids). This was in order to align the pyramids with the cardinal directions.
The shape of its base. So you can get triangular pyramids, square pyramids and so on.
Pyramids are constructed from triangular shapes and can have square or triangle bases
Cubes are prisms that have squares as bases and the height is the same as the edges. A square prism has square bases, top and bottom, and parallelograms as sides. A square pyramid has a square base and triangles for the vertical sides.
