This is called the cone, or cinder cone.

The interior or crater area of a volcano is called the caldera, which contains the main vents. When a volcano is mostly dormant, lakes or glaciers may form inside the caldera.

What volcanic type typically produces small steep sided structures composed of pyroclastic material?

The volcanic type that typically produces small steep-sided structures composed of pyroclastic material is a cinder cone. Cinder cones are formed from explosive eruptions that eject particles of volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs into the air. These materials fall back to the ground and build up around the vent, forming the characteristic steep slopes of cinder cones.
