Why meter cube is called derived unit
​

Because it is the result of two more fundamental units, a derived unit is termed that. For volume, the cubic meter (m³) is the fundamental unit of area. Any number that cannot be measured directly with any equipment is referred to as a derived unit. For example, we can't quantify a substance's density using a rule, scale, or bucket.
