It should be zero, but the only problem with that is that you can't divide by zero; so it becomes inconvenient in case the something to the power of zero happens to be in the denominator. Therefore, mathematicians have agreed to let something to the power of zero to always be one just for the sake of convenience.

Why does 14 to the zero power equal one?
Because any number raised to the power of zero always equals one as for example 666^0 = 1
How do you do ten to the zero power?
Well, You multiply 10 by how ever many times the number says. In this case it is 0. Though, there is a different rule for anything to the zero power. The rule is that anything to the zero power is not zero, but always one.
Is the product always zero when one of the factors is zero?
Yes.
What is 20 to the zeroth power?
When we raise a number to the zeroth power, that means we multiply the number by itself zero times. So, the reason that any number to the zero power is one is because any number to the zero power is just the product of no numbers at all, which is the multiplicative identity, 1.
What is one to the 4th power?
One multiplied by itself is still one, no matter how many times you multiply it by itself. Therefore one to the power of any number greater than zero will always equal one.
