It kinda doesn’t make sense.
x¹= x
x² = x*x
x³= x*x*x
etc…
and even with negative numbers you’re still multiplying the number by itself
like (x)-² = 1/x² = 1/(x*x)

Since others have already explained the WHY, I thought I might give a different explanation as to HOW X⁰=1 makes sense.
Try multiplying 2², then 2¹, 2½, 2⅓, 2¼, you get the idea. You will begin to notice the closer you get to 2⁰, the closer the result equals 1.
