The adjustable base, as recited in claim 3, wherein said resilient element is a compressive spring. 5. A multifunctional adjustable base for a sun shading umbrella having a supporting stem, comprising: a base support; a stem rotary member rotatably supported by said base support and adapted for firmly holding the supporting stem; and a controlling arrangement, which comprises: a transmission member, which is horizontally supported by said base support, having an engaging end adapted for engaging with said stem rotary member; means for securely engaging said engaging end of said transmission member with said stem rotary member, wherein said engaging means comprises a plurality of engaging teeth radically and integrally formed on said engaging end of said transmission member, and at least one engaging member extended outwardly from an external surface of said stem rotary member and adapted for securely engaging with said plurality of engaging teeth of said transmission member; and an activating member operatively connected to said transmission member for switching said stem rotary member between a locked state and a freely rotating state, wherein in said locked state, said stem rotary member is firmly engaged with said engaging end of said transmission member so as to restrict a rotational movement of said stem rotary member with respect to said base support, and wherein in said freely rotating state, said stem rotary member disengages with said transmission member so that said stem rotary member is capable of freely rotating with respect to said base support, wherein said activating member comprises a control handle rotatably and perpendicularly connected to said transmission member in such a manner that when said control handle is rotated, said transmission member is driven to move horizontally so that said engaging end thereof is pushed and pulled to engage and disengage with said engaging member of said stem rotary member respectively, said control handle being extended outside said base support for switching said st em rotary member between two said freely rotating state and said locked state. 6. The adjustable base, as recited in claim 5, wherein said controlling arrangement further comprises an eccentric column eccentrically and integrally extended from a bottom portion of said control handle, and wherein said transmission member has an connecting hole for securely receiving said eccentric column, so that by rotating said control handle, said transmission member is driven to move horizontally to selectively engage with and disengage from said engaging member formed on said stem rotary member. 7. The adjustable base, as recited in claim 6, further comprises a plurality of rotary supports supported by said base support and rotatably connected to said stem rotary member for facilitating said rotational movement thereof with respect to said base support. 8. A multi-functional adjustable base for a sun shading umbrella having a supporting stem, comprising: a base support; a stem rotary member rotatably supported by said base support and adapted for firmly holding the supporting stem, wherein said stem rotary member is hollow having an external surface and an hollow cavity defined therebetween; and a controlling arrangement, which comprises: a transmission member, which is horizontally supported by said base support, having an engaging end adapted for engaging with said stem rotary member; means for securely engaging said engaging end of said transmission member with said stem rotary member, wherein said engaging means comprises a plurality of engaging teeth radically and integrally formed on said engaging end of said transmission member, and at least one engaging member extended inwardly from an external surface of said stem rotary member and adapted for securely engaging with said plurality of engaging teeth of said transmission member; and an activating member operatively connected to said transmission member for switching said stem rotary member between a locked state and a freely rotating state, wherein in said locked state, said stem rotary member is firmly engaged with said engaging end of said transmission member so as to restrict a rotational movement of said stem rotary member with respect to said base support, and wherein in said freely rotating state, said stem rotary member disengages with said transmission member so that said stem rotary member is capable of freely rotating with respect to said base support, wherein said activating member comprises a control handle rotatably and perpendicularly connected to said transmission member in such a manner that when said control handle is rotated, said transmission member is driven to move horizontally so that said engaging end thereof is pushed and pulled to engage and disengage with said engaging member of said stem rotary member respectively, said control handle being extended outside said base support for switching said stem rotary member between two said freely rotating state and said locked state. 9. The adjustable base, as recited in claim 8, wherein said controlling arrangement further comprises an eccentric column eccentrically, integrally and downwardly extended from a bottom portion of said control handle, and wherein said transmission member has an connecting hole for securely receiving said eccentric column, so that by rotating said control handle, said transmission member is driven to move horizontally to selectively engage with and disengage from said engaging member formed on said stem rotary member. 10. The adjustable base, as recited in claim 7, further comprises a plurality of rotary supports supported by said base support and rotatably connected to said stem rotary member for facilitating said rotational movement thereof with respect to said base support.
