0×0 is defined and it is equal to 0.
$$\mathrm{0}×\mathrm{0}\:{is}\:{defined}\:{and}\:{it}\:{is}\:{equal}\:{to}\:\mathrm{0}. \\ $$

x=0  x×x=x^2 =0^2   ∀n∈Z/{0},   x^n =x=0^n =0
$${x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}×{x}={x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\forall{n}\in\mathbb{Z}/\left\{\mathrm{0}\right\},\:\:\:{x}^{{n}} ={x}=\mathrm{0}^{{n}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$

5×4 is essentually 5 baskets, each basket  has 4 apples. Total = 4+4+4+4+4=4×5    0×0 is zero baskets with zero apples each.  that is 0+0 (kind of. its more like 0 added  to itself zero times, but you cant write that)
