The units of pressure is called derived units because it is simply derived from base unit which is distance and a derived unit which is force, which is derived from acceleration, a derived unit as well, and mass, a base unit. As we all know, work is defined as the force x distance. Thus making work a derived unit.

Explanation:
there are 7 fundamental units - kg,m,sec,amphere , candela,Kelvin,mole
all other units are called derived units because those units are derived from the basic fundamental units .
for pressure -
pressure = force/area
force = mass * acceleration
N= kgm/s^2
area= m^2
Pascal= N/m^2
Pascal = kgm/s^2 m^2
Pascal = kg/ms^2
so it's derived from basic units hence it's called derived units
