Known elementary particles include the fundamental fermions (quarks, leptons, antiquarks, and antileptons), which generally are "matter particles" and "antimatter particles", as well as the fundamental bosons (gauge bosons and the Higgs boson), which generally are "force particles" that mediate interactions among ...

In physics, an elementary particle or fundamental particle is a particle that might not be made of other particles. An elementary particle can be a fermion or a boson. ... Of the particles that make up an atom, only the electron is an elementary particle. Protons and neutrons are made of quarks.

so we call an electron fundamental because they are all non-unique. The search for the origin of matter means the understanding of elementary particles.
