It is a power of that base.
The base of an exponent is the main number. For example in 56 the number 5 is the base and 6 is the exponent.
In the notation for powers, e.g. Ab, A is the base (the number which is multiplied by itself) and b is the exponent (the number of times we mutiply it). An Exponent is how many times you get a certain prime number in a factor tree. I don''t remember what a base is.
A number does not have an exponent in isolation. It has an exponent in the context of a base. The same number can have different combinations of base and exponent. For example, 64 = 8^2 or 4^3 or 2^6. A base cannot be zero but usually it is restricted to positive real numbers. In higher mathematics, the most common base is the irrational (even transcendental) number e = 2.71828...
