Do octagons tessellate?
No it does not tessellate you have to pentagons in order for it to tessellate. * * * * * It is not at all clear what "have to pentagons" has to do with this. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate. Octagons will tessellate if mixed with squares but that is not "proper" tessellation since it involved more than one shape.
Is there such thing as a 3D hexagon?

It's possible to tessellate a plane with?
It is possible to tessellate a plane with squares, triangles, and hexagons. To tessellate something means to cover it with repeated use of a single shape, without gaps or overlapping.
Will a triangle tessellate?
No, a triangle will not tessellate by itself. In order for a shape to tessellate, it must be able to fit together with copies of itself without any gaps or overlaps. Triangles have angles that add up to 180 degrees, which does not allow them to fit together seamlessly to create a tessellation. Shapes like squares, hexagons, and equilateral triangles can tessellate because their angles allow them to fit together perfectly.
