The Metric System is a measurement system which uses Standard International (SI) Units. It is simple to learn and easy to use because of its decimal nature. Almost all of the countries in the world use the metric system although many products are still manufactured in common sizes for public use.

It's important because it helps you measure things. The prefixes are telling you the distance or meters, etc.
