Isn't the piano like the base for all instruments and music? 
I don't know about that, but it's pretty popular and is actually short for "pianoforte."
Sounds like latin or something. When was the piano made? 
It was invented around 1700 but the exact date is unknown
Is there names for specific parts of the piano?
Piano
The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700 (the exact year is uncertain), in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. 
The word piano is a shortened form of "pianoforte", the Italian term for the early 1700s versions
