C is the mother of all languages. Learning C makes your fundamentals very strong. C programming language is not limited to but used widely in operating systems, language compilers, network drivers, language interpreters, and system utilities areas of development. C programming language is used a lot in embedded hardware programming. So C is very important language.

mainly because it's low level language, which letting you faster syntax to compare to assembly. most of the programs that need performance will use low level language (C/C++). e.x. Adobe products won't be coded in Java or C#, why? because imagine yourself trying to render a video on a program that written in Java, C++ is low level language, which providing you everything that java has and much much more, and much faster, now if you compare between the two renderers you'll see a highly significant amount of astounishing performance with C++.
