A liter is a unit of the metric system for volume (how much space an object occupies).

The prefix "milli" means one thousandth. If you take one liter and divide it by a thousand, you end up with a milliliter.

An American teaspoon contains about five milliliters - so milliliter represents a really small amount.

If that reference is not helpful, imagine taking a tiny sip of water. This is approximately a milliliter.
