hexahedron

Die's geometric form

A hexahedron is a three-dimensional solid with six faces.

The most familiar hexahedron is the cube, where all six faces are identical squares.

In geometry, the term encompasses any six-faced polyhedron, though in casual usage it typically means a cube: Roll the hexahedron to see what number comes up.
