Although Mount Everest, at 29,029 feet tall, is often called the tallest mountain; Mauna Kea, an inactive volcano on the island of Hawaii is actually taller. Only 13,796 feet of Mauna Kea stands above sea level, however, if you measure it from its base, which is below sea level, it is 33,465 feet. If you stand Mauna Kea and Mount Everest next to each other, Mount Kea would be 4400 feet taller

Mauna Kea in Hawaii is the world's tallest mountain from base to peak! Its base is on the sea floor and it rises 33,480 feet (10,314 meters) in total, reaching 13,796 feet (4205 m) above sea level.
While Mt. Everest is the world's tallest mountain above sea level, Mauna Kea is still quite spectacular.

apperantly yes!
but the fact is, that mountain rises from the floor of the pacific ocean, and since every height is measured wrt to the sea level and not the base of the sea level, it is then not the tallest

Above sea level, no. Measured from the base to the top, yes. It's one of the Hawaiian islands (most of it's height is below sea level).
