It isn't. A cm is a centimetre, a unit of length.

Imagine, however, a cube exactly one cm long on each edge.

This cube measures one cubic centimeter, or cm3

The unit of small volumes, therefore is the cm3

(If you were curious, larger volumes are measured in litres, and very large volumes, hectolitres)
