because visually, it adds another dimension to it making it a square
for example
we have a 5 unit line:
#####
then we square it (make it a square)
#####
#####
#####
#####
#####
if the unit sizes were the same then it would be a square since it's 5x5
same thing with cubing numbers, it adds a 3rd dimension to it with the same amount of units, so it makes it a cube
