Because nearly every other unit can be derived from them. For example, velocity is length per time (or * time^-1), and volume is length cubed
The fundamental units are those of the SI system - The unit of Temperature, Kelvin; of Time, the second; of Mass, Kilogram; of brightness, the Candela; of physical quantity, the Mole; and of electrical current, the Ampere. With these units, all fundamental quantities may be described.Comment SI doesn't use the term, 'fundamental'. Those units listed above are termed 'base' units.
The three fundamental measurements are length, mass, and time. The fundamental Standard International units, therefore, are meters, kilograms, and seconds. These are also known as SI base units.
the international system of units or SI units have 7 base units for the measurement of different types of quantities. it uses the following units: meter - length kilogram - mass second - time kelvin - temperature ampere - current candela - luminous intensity mole - amount of substance
It doesn't make sense to convert units that measure completely different things. You can only convert units of length to units of length, units of mass to units of mass, etc.
Examples are the 'meter' and the 'kilogram' respectively.
Gram, centimeter, and cm3 or mL, respectively, are.
Length: MeterMass: KilogramWeight: Newton
metre, kilogram, metre cubed, and again the kg, respectively

Volume is a fundamental quality because of volume per mass. Other familiar fundamental qualities include mass, velocity, speed, m3, cubic meter, and density.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'fundamental unit' in SI. Units are either 'base units' or 'derived units'. In SI, volume is measured in cubic metres, where the metre is the base unit of length.

In the SI, it is DEFINED as a base unit, together with the unit of length, the unit of time, and a few others. Other units are derived from these base units.
The 7 Fundamental Quantities are: length, time, mass, electric current, temperature, substance and amount of light. SI units: metre, second, kilogram, ampere, kelvin, mole, candel. Symbols of units: m, s, kg, A, K, mol, cd. Comment SI doesn't use the term, 'fundamental'. Those units listed above are termed 'base' units.

No, weight is not a fundamental quantity.
