The lateral faces of a body are those faces that are not bases. Thus, the lateral faces of a prism are always parallelograms. In the special case of a right prism, the lateral faces are rectangles. The bases of a prism can be any polygon, including a triangle, but also a pentagon or octagon, for example.
