Fundamental Quantity:A set of fundamental units are defined in every units system, and the corresponding physical quantities are called the fundamental quantities.
Fundamental units are independently defined, and often the quantities are directly measurable in a physical system.
eg. mass,length ,time,electric current,temperature, luminous intensity
Derived quantity:
Derived quantities are formed by product of powers of fundamental units. In other words, these quantities can be derived using fundamental units. These units are not defined independently; they depend on the definition of other units. Quantities attached to derived units are called derived quantities.
eg. frequency,work,force,pressure,stress,angle etc
