It is a square based pyramid. And the word is which, not witch!
Depends on the pyramid. A pyramid with a square (or quadrilateral) base would indeed have 8 edges, but a pyramid can have any other polygon as a base.Depends on the pyramid.

You cannot have a 2d pyramid - whether or not it is square based. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.
A square pyramid's base is a square. You can tell by the name (for exp. a triangular pyramid's base is a triangle.) Good luck with whatever you need it for :)
The simplest such shape is PYRAMID.
