i like to think of the exponent as the number of times you have to multiply one by the base.

ex. 2^3 means you multiply 1×2, then multiply that by two, then that by two

so a 0 exponent means you don’t multiply one by anything, so you always get 1.

a 1 exponent means you multiply 1 by the base, which is why you always get the base.
