In Binary you have zero or one. So 01 + 01 = 10 You would call this one zero base two. There are only two numbers.
In the decimal system you have zero to nine. So 01 + 09 = 10 We call this ten but it would also be correct to call it one zero base ten. In the decimal system there are ten numbers.
That should clear it up.
ps Don't get me started on the hexadecimal number system or we'll be here all night.
