It is called a base quantity.

However, the distinction between a base quantity and a derived quantity is often not clear. For example, the second and metre are meant to be the base units for time and length. But the metre itself is defined in terms of the distance travelled by light, through vacuum, in 1/299,792,458 of a second. Consequently, a metre itself can be considered a derived unit.
