The meter is the basic unit of length in the metric system. All other terms for length, like kilometer and centimeter express value in terms of the meter. For example, a kilometer is a thousand meters, and a centimeter is one 1/100th of a meter.
It's either the meter, the liter, or the gram. Meter is for measuring how long something is, the liter is to measure the volume of something, and the gram is weight.
