And by "deci system", do you mean:

the prefixes added to units of measurement to change the value of something (metric system)?

the Decimal System? which would be a question in the math section

the Dewey Decimal System? which would go under a library section used to organize books

If it's the first one:

The metric system is a system based on the number 10. There are numerous prefixes that are adjoined to units of measurement to increase or decrease the base unit by 10 times the preceding/succeeding value. The most basic prefixes used in high school science classes are

Kilo- x1000 the base unit

Hecto- x100 " "

Deco- x10

Deci- x1/10

Centi- x1/100

Milli- x1/1000

What prefix is smaller 'deci-' or 'micro-'?

Micro-. Both the prefixes 'deci-' and 'micro-' describe a certain amount of whatever unit of measure is being used. They owe their usage to the French Revolutionaries setting up a standard system of measures and weights. In that system, the prefix 'deci-' refers to one-tenth of whatever unit is being used. The prefix 'micro-' refers to one-millionth. Therefore, the prefix 'micro-' refers to a smaller quantity under consideration than does a 'deci-'.
