Strictly speaking no - the liter is a non-SI unit. However it is very widely accepted being equivalent to a dm3.
So the m3 is the official SI unit of volume and other derivations of it e.g. mm3 which is equivalent to the ml - or milliliter. The m3 is such a large unit that liters are very often used and totally accepted.

No, liter is a unit of volume, not mass. Mass is typically measured in units like grams or pounds.
No, the litre is the unit of volume. The gram, or kilogram, is the unit of mass. Liter is the same as cubic decimeter.
No, a liter is the standard unit of volume in the metric system. If you're looking for the standard unit of mass, it would be the gram.
No, it is volume. Volume is the space something takes up, mass is it's weight. density links these two in the formula Density = Mass / Volume
The mass of 1 liter of water is approximately 1 kilogram. To convert this to newtons, you would multiply the mass in kilograms by the acceleration due to gravity, which is about 9.81 m/s^2. So, the weight of 1 liter of water is approximately 9.81 newtons.
basic unit of length mass and volume in the metric system are as follows . basic unit of length in the metric system is meter . basic unit of mass in the metric system is kg . basic unit of volume in the metric system is L.
A liter is typically used to measure liquid capacity, while a gram is used to measure mass. If you want to measure the volume of a liquid, you would use liters. If you want to measure the weight of an object, you would use grams.
Density is a measure of mass per unit volume, so it is often expressed in units such as grams per cubic centimeter or kilograms per liter. In the metric system, 1 liter of a substance will have a different mass depending on its density. Low density substances will have less mass in 1 liter compared to high density substances.
The unit of length in SI is metre (m). The unit of mass in SI is kilogram (kg). The unit of volume in SI is litre (L). The derived unit of density in SI is Mg/m3 (or g/cm3). Length, mass, density, volume are not units but characteristics of materials and objects.
