The centimeter is a metric unit of length, where 1 centimeter = 0.01 meters. Its name derives from the Latin word 'centum' (hundred), indicating one-hundredth of a meter. Used globally in most countries for everyday measurements, especially in education, clothing, and small-scale dimensions. China has widely adopted centimeters since fully implementing the metric system in the 20th century.
