Is it like the base or the amount? What?

Volume is the amount of space an object takes. For example - a one gallon milk jug has the capacity to hold one gallon - but not all milk jugs will be the exact same shape.

Volume is the amount of three dimensional space matter takes up. The SI unit of volume is meters cubed.

The volume of an object is the amount of "space" in said object...
Essentially it is the number of unit cubes that could fill it up...
A unit cube being a cube with a length of 1 on each side (and with whatever units you choose to use: meters, inches, feet, whatever, but always units of length)
Example...
For a rectangular prism, volume is width*length*height
For a square-base pyramidL 1/2*length*width*height

I look at volume as a three dimensional area displaced by something. Typically volume would be say a cubic yard of dirt, 10 gallons of a liquid. Just remember it has length, width and height.

It's the three-dimensional space an object or substance takes up.

It is the quantification of how much space an object occupies.

How much space is inside an object. How much it can hold.
