1 is not composite, nor prime, because it is a "unit", i.e. it has only one factor, itself. Multiplying it by itself (or any other unit, such as the imaginary unit i) gives a unit (1, when we multiply it by itself.). This is actually a property of all units.
0 is not a composite (or prime) number because it cannot be expressed by multiplying prime numbers (one of the factors has to always be 0), and because it has infinitely many factors (any number times 0 is 0).

If 0 and 1 are not composite or prime numbers then what are they?
First, zero is not applied to the terms prime and composite because the definitions only apply to natural numbers (positive whole numbers, which does not include zero). One is not prime or composite because one is the unit that is used within the definition of prime of composite numbers, and many definitions of prime and composite even exclude one from the definition. If you want to categorize one within a discussion of prime and composite, it is common to simply call one the unit.
