What is a 3D figure that has two parallel and congruent bases in the shape of polygons?

A prism has two parallel and congruent bases in the shape of polygons.

Example - a cereal box (is rectangular prism). The top and bottom are rectangles(a polygon). They are the same size and shape (congruent) and also parallel.

A cube (think of six sided dice) is a special rectangular prism.

Imagine a a box where the top and bottom are triangles (of the shape size and shape). This is called a triangular prism.
