Idea

The trivial fiber bundle over BB with fibre FF is simply the Cartesian product B×FB \times F, equipped with the projection map to BB to make it a fiber bundle over BB

B×F pr 1 B \array{ B \times F \\ {}^{\mathllap{pr_1}}\downarrow \\ B }

A fiber bundle which not the trivial bundle but is isomorphic to the trivial bundle is called trivializable and the chosen isomorphism is called the corresponding trivialization.
