The metric system uses powers of 10 which makes it mathematically easy to convert units.

Every unit of measurement can be derived from any other unit. For example, one liter is the same volume as one cubic decimeter (cube with each side being 1dm or 10cm).

One gram of water at 4 degrees Celsius is one cubic centimeter.

Measurements and units are the objects of study for metrology which can be considered a branch of physics.
Today any serious activity without measurements is not possible.

If a measurement has units associated with it then it is no good presenting the number without the measurement unit.
