Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world above sea level, but the title of world's largest mountain goes to Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano as much of it is actually under water...BTW Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing mountain rise.

Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain interior the international, yet considering the fact that lots of that's placed under the exterior of the Pacific, many people evaluate Mt. Everest to be the tallest considering that's thoroughly on land.

Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano is the world's largest mountain in cubic content with an estimated volume of 9,600 cubic miles (40,000 cubic kilometers). Mauna Loa is 13,681 feet (4,170 meters) high.
While Mt. Everest is the world's tallest mountain above sea level, Mauna Loa is still quite spectacular.
I got that info from about.com

it would be Mona Kea in Hawaii if you measured from the ocean floor at 33,465 feet . otherwise it would be Mount Everest at 29,029 feet.
But did you know that the tallest mountain in the solsr system is olmpus mons on mars at about 88,585 feet or about 17 miles. :D
