The mass is obviously a base unit. From mass we can derive many units like momentum, force etc. But we cannot derive the unit of mass from any other unit. So, it's a base unit.
Technically, mass is not a unit. In the most commonly used systems of units, MKS and cgs, units of mass (kilograms and grams, respectively), are base units.
