Measured from its base, the tallest would be Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which like the adjacent Mauna Loa has a deep seafloor base on the Hawaiian hotspot.

But the highest above sea level is the Nevado Ojos del Salado ("snow-covered salty eyes"), a stratovolcano in the Andes mountains, about 600 km (370 miles) north of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas. Ojos de Salado is 6893 meters (22,615 ft) in height. However, it has not been active since approximately 700 AD.

Which volcano is the largest?

As far as I know, the largest known volcano, as a mountain, is Olympus Mons. However, calderas (back here on Earth) - such as the one in Yellowstone Park - can have a diameter of several hundred kilometers, so in a way, those are the largest. It really depends what you are looking for: the largest height, the largest diameter, etc.The biggest volcano is in Italy: AITNA
