The meter scale is broken up into kilo, hecto, deca, (base), deci, centi, milli.

Kilometer, Hectometer, Decameter, meter, decimeter, centimeter, and millimeter. This is the same for all Metric unit systems such as liters. The left side is the largest while the right side is the smallest. That is why a centiliter is greater than a milliliter.

One centiliter is greater than one milliliter because there are 10 milliliters in one centiliter. This means that one centiliter is equal to 10 milliliters, making it greater in volume.
