The three micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, and water.
Nutrients can be broadly categorized as water, vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fatty acids (or lipids). Fiber is not actually a nutrient but it is an important part of your diet, nonetheless.
Vitamin C is a micro-nutrient. Macro nutrients are fat, carbohydrates, protein, and alcohol. They all contain caloires. Micro-nutrients are vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C.

Vitamins are considered micronutrients because they are required in milligram or microgram amounts in the diet.
The nutrients which are required in small quantities are called micronutrients e.g. iron, molybdenum, boron, chlorine, zinc etc. Similarly, the nutrients which are required in large quantities are called macronutrients e.g. carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, magnesium, potassium etc.
