meters are the base root. all of the other units (kilometers, centimeters, etc.) are based off of the meter.

For instance, a kilometer is one thousand meters (kilo means thousand)

A centimeter is 1/100 of a meter, so one hundred centimeters= one meter

millimeters are 1/1000 of a meter, so one thousand millimeters=one meter.
