In the SI, these units are derived from other units. For example, an area is a length squared. Of course, it is possible to proceed the other way round, for example to define an area as the base unit, in which case a length would be the square root of an area. That looks more complicated, but it's possible. Thus, whether a unit for a specific type of measurement is a base unit or a derived unit really depends on the system of units selected.
