Why is the octahedron called a Platonic solid?

It's one of five Platonic solids: all faces are congruent regular polygons, and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.

How many vertices, edges, and faces does an octahedron have?

The octahedron has 6 vertices, 12 edges, and 8 equilateral triangular faces.

What is the dual polyhedron of an octahedron?

The cube (hexahedron) is the dual. Its vertices correspond to the octahedron's face centers.
