A fundamental unit is a unit that cannot be broken down any further. Other units are based on derivatives of these units.

In most countries, the SI base unit system is used

Things like distance and time cannot be broken down further, so base units are used (metre and second respectively).
An example of a derived unit is km/h (kilometres per hour, often seen kmph), where kilometres are based on 1000 metres, and hours being 3600 seconds (60 x 60), where speed is equal to distance divided by time.
