An approximate answer is that 0 degrees is the temperature at which pure ice melts, and 100 degrees is the temperature at which pure water boils - both processes at standard one atmosphere. The temperature unit is one hundredth of that range.
A more precise, but complicated, answer involves the absolute scale (Kelvin) and the triple point of water.

What is the unit used when measuring temperature?
There are four units for temperature: Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Rankine. The Kelvin scale is the same as the Celsius scale, just with the zero point being absolute zero. The Rankine scale is the same thing for the Fahrenheit scale. ■
What is unique about the kelvin temperature scale?
It is an absolute measurement scale of temperature. 0K is absolute zero there are no negative units on the scale (degrees centigrade [celsius] + 273 = degrees Kelvin). This also is the case on the Rankine temperature scale (degrees fahrenheit +459.69 = degrees Rankine)
Metric units of temperature?
Celsius and kelvin
What are the units for mass what are the units for temperature?
Kilograms and Kelvin (or degrees Celsius).
What temperature scales have the same temperature degree units?
Actually they all do. They all measure temperature in units called degrees. The difference is the starting point. The Kelvin scale starts at zero (never goes into negative figures) - which is -273 Celsius or 459.4 Fahrenheit.
