Because it’s a ground level.

Yes, correct, the first floor is at ground level. When you place another level above that first floor, it is a second floor.

A single story structure has a floor, it's first floor, and no other.

Yes, a single storey does have a floor. We call it the ground.

But it's not ground it's a floor. Ground is dirt
