No, although a centimetre is a unit of length, the meter (m) is the SI base unit for length. 1 cm = 0.01m. Not only isn't it a base unit, it's not even an SI unit! In the SI system, multiples are based on 10 raised to the power of multiples of 3. So, whereas a millimetre, is an SI unit, a centimetre is not -although, of course, it is a metric unit.

The SI unit for distance is metre (m).
1 m = 100 cm = 1 000 mm
So 1 cm = 10 mm
