m/s is a derived unit
meters (distance) and seconds (time) are SI base units. New units created through mathematical operations are derived.

The only SI base units are from the following list:
meter (m)
kilogram (kg)
second (s)
ampere (A)
kelvin (K)
mole (mol)
candela (cd)
Anything that is not on this list is not an SI base unit.

Derived unit.. specifically speed - the distance covered per unit of time.
S= distance/time or d/t which is equal to m/s.
