I am not sure where you read the term base property. All properties created for global or scoped apps or custom apps developed in Studio will have properties created in sys_properties table.

Maybe you are referring to properties that are created out of box as base properties. Optional and user defined properties along with base properties you are referring as system properties. As per documentation and usage, they are only called system properties.

Property configured from Studio for Custom Application

Aspect                                     System Property                                                                      Base Property

Definition	Any property in sys_properties (custom or OOB) controlling behavior/configuration.	The OOB/default version of a system property as delivered by ServiceNow (before modifications).
Ownership	Could be created or modified by customer.	Provided by SN; not meant to be modified (or only through upgrades or configuration).
Overriding	Custom values can override base property values.	Serves as fallback; retains original behavior if no override.
Purpose	Used to adjust behavior, enable/disable features, make configurations.	Ensures a known starting point/default setting that SN expects.

System Property: Any property in ServiceNow (custom or OOTB) stored in sys_properties to control platform behavior.
