Why does volume not considered as an S.I. base unit?

plz..help me..

Answer:
lets say a box has a volume of 1,000m^3. possibly means that the bos has length of 10m, height 10m and width 10m. metre(m) from those 3 are base units. base units cant be derived anymore unlike volume of that box (m^3) that can be derived to be m, m and m. so, volume is not a base unit.

lucks.
...because volume is defined in terms of simpler base units, namely distance cubed.
Because it can be derived from other base units.

Base units must be indivisible - though in fact the choice of base units is arbitrary (so we have current not charge, but from which charge can be derived).

It isn't considered as a Systeme Internationale base unit because, it takes up 1 base unit in 3 dimensions. They are length x width x height (V=LxWxH).
Volume units exist in all systems cm³, m³, in³, ft³, Litres, Pints, Gallons ...etc. and are quite easily converted from one to another using a conversion factor.
