There are a number of different definitions for the term pedestal in the Civil Engineering field. However, in this context, it can be defined as a compressive structural member that is placed between the footings and the columns in order to provide uniform load distribution within each of them. In the beginning, pedestals weren't used much, if at all, as they weren't very useful. As it turns out, when loads are subjected to the columns, the column distributes the loads to the footings when the loads are subjected to the columns.
