Good question. It is because when dealing with volume, you are talking about 3 dimensions; there is length, heighth, and Depth now too. Think of a square: it's 2 dimensional, it doesn't have any depth. Now think of a cube: it does have a depth. For example, when you open a box, you can reach your hand inside. That space is the Volume. That is why the third power is called Cubed, whereas the second is called Squared. Get it?
