usually 10

None. A piccolo is a wind instrument and has no strings.
None ! A piccolo is a member of the woodwind family. You blow into it - you do not strum it.
I'm pretty sure that ALL flutes, including piccolo, bass, and standard flutes (key of c) all have the same buttons anf fingerings... if you want to know the number of keys, it depends I guess, because there are thetrill keys, and then some keys that go down when you press others... but if you count every single moving button on the flute, theres like 24?
You don't just blow, you have to blow across the hole, and get the embouchure right to actually make a note. It may take a long time to get used to. You may find that if you can play the flute, then it is slightly easier to play the piccolo, than a person playing the piccolo for a first instrument! ; ) The piccolo is the same as playing the flute,it's just smaller and harder to hit the keys. I suggest mastering the flute first.
Yes, Usually the piccolo does have 10 keys. At least mine does :)
No, a piccolo is just (technically) a smaller flute. It doesn't have as many keys (for lower notes), and plays everything an octave higher than a flute would.
The head needs to be lined up with the keys.

The piccolo is many many times smaller than the bass.

I believe that a Piccolo does not have a reed but instead a mouthpiece.
The name of a mini flute instrument is called a piccolo.
