Surprisingly, there is actually a few reasons that tie together.
First, "Metroid Prime" was the first 3D metroid saga shooter, so since it was the "1st" 3D game for the saga (which we can use the number 1 as a reference), it relates to the number 1 as being a "prime" number.
Second, Retro Studios completely built this game as a storyline addition to "Metroid II" to include a whole new world, whole new enemies (and some old), and new quest. It lamen's terms, this would make it unique, or "prime".
Third, basically, the title of the game is used as a description for the first Metroid Prime game being the "prime" of the saga, meaning it's best yet (also see it's ratings to confirm this).
Fourth (and probably the most simple), it can be used to describe the final boss of the game.
This game ended up being one of the best gamecube games ever created and these four reasons are why.
