How does a gas furnace pilot flame stay burning?

A gas furnace pilot flame stays burning by receiving a constant flow of gas from the pilot light assembly.

What is the risk of an explosion if pilot light on water heater goes out?

When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com

Would a bad millivolt thermopile keep the pilot light in a floor furnace from staying lit?

Yes, a bad millivolt thermopile can cause the pilot light in a floor furnace to go out or not stay lit. The thermopile generates the voltage needed to keep the gas valve open and maintain the pilot light, so if it is faulty, the pilot light may not stay lit consistently.
