It will burn at a very high temperature, reaching as high as 3100°C. It is difficult to extinguish because it can form oxides from carbon dioxide or water, or nitrides from atmospheric nitrogen.
Mg (magnesium) is highly flammable in its pure state, and when used in lightweight alloy wheels, such as those for jet aircraft, may causes fires if overheated.
The base of a Bunsen burner allows it to remain stable while standing.

If sodium was spray over a Bunsen burner flame you should observe a yellow-orange flame due to the presence of sodium ions.
To hold things over a Bunsen burner

typically undergoes heating and may undergo a phase change or chemical reaction depending on its properties. The Bunsen burner provides a consistent and controlled source of heat to increase the temperature of the substance, allowing for various processes such as evaporation, combustion, or decomposition to occur.

The base of a Bunsen burner allows it to remain stable while standing.
It is called a griebon (pronounced jreeborn) or a tripod
This is to reduce the chances of the burner accidentally tipping over. Knocking over a lit Bunsen burner could obviously have very bad results.
This serves to spread out the point of application of the heat.
