Question

It's not Mt Everest because I mean from the base, not sea level

Answer 1

The highest mountain from base to summit is mauna Kea in Haewaii; because although it is only 14,000 feet high, its 'base' extends deep into the sea, giving it a total height 0f 33,000 feet (10,000 metres)., about 4000 feet 'higher' than Mt Everest..

says its Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

Answer 4

The "highest" point on the face of the earth is the summit of Mt Everest on the Nepal/Tibet border.

The "tallest" mountain is, in fact, Mauna Kea, the summit of the island of Hawaii.

By definition, height refers to the distance from the top of the summit to sea level.  Also, "tall" refers to the distance from the base of the mountain itself.  Since the base of Mauna Kea is, in fact, the seabed of the Pacific Ocean, it is, technically the taller mountain, even though the summit of Mt Everest pokes higher into the atmosphere.
