I would like to know if there is a term kind of "straight pyramid"? I mean, is there a word for a pyramid such that the line segment from the apex to the center of the base is perpendicular to the base.

    My father had this complicated joke about Mercy Hospital in Australia, which served a beverage with bits of herbs and nuts still in it, and named after a local animal; the conclusion was that The Koala Tea of Mercy is not strained. – Will Jagy Feb 05 '15 at 21:58

I believe the term you are looking for is right.

From mathwords.com:

right pyramid: A pyramid that has its apex aligned directly above the center of the base.
