When the metric system was originally developed, the standard unit for mass was the mass of a liter of water as ice, which is one kilogram.
The Celsius temperature scale (and also the Kelvin scale) is also based on water. The boiling point of water (at sea level) is 100 degres Celsius, and freezing is 0 degrees Celsius.

What liquid is standard for measuring?
The standard liquid for measuring volume in the metric system is water.
What thermometer is based on the metric system?
That depends on what units the thermometer is calibrated in. The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin, but degrees Celsius commonly used, if the thermometer reads in kelvin or degrees Celsius then it is a metric tool.
Is Celsius English or Metric measure?
Celsius is a metric measure used for temperature. It is a commonly used unit in the metric system to measure temperature, where water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
