The liter is the unit used to measure volume in the metric system. It is the volume necessary to fill a cube 10 centimeters on a side, equal to roughly 33 oz.
Smaller volumes are commonly expressed in milliliters (mls), or 1/1,000th of a liter. One-fourth of a liter would be 250 ml, while one-tenth would be 100 ml.
Because a liter has the volume of 1,000 cubic centimeters, one milliliter is equal to one cubic centimeter.

It rather depends on what you are measuring. The litre is a liquid measure. For "dry" dimensions such as the capacity of a vehicle or a room, it makes more sense to use the cubic metre (or cubic centi- or milli- metre for small objects). However the cubic centimetre is used extensively in chemistry and for the volumes of engine cylinders.

Otherwise, use cubic centimetres, (cc or ml); or cubic metres.

Scientists generally use the Metric System. In that System, volume is measured in cm3 and/or its multiples, the milliliter, liter, etc.
Volume is measure as width times height by depth no matter the system you're using. The metric system would just define the type of measurement you would use, such as liters instead of gallons.
