Originally Answered: Why is the unit of force called a derived unit? That's because the Newton is defined in terms of other units which are more fundamental. One Newton is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogramme at the rate of one metre per second squared.

Explanation:
Because it is the product of two more basic units, mass and acceleration. The calculation of force is as follows:
Force=mass*acceleration
Mass is a base unit, acceleration is a derived unit calculated as a function of length and time which are both base units.
Any unit definition that is a function of more basic units is considered a derived unit.
