A compiler is a computer program that transforms human-readable (programming language) source code into another computer language (binary) code

C compiler is a software application that transforms human-readable C program code to machine-readable code. The process of transforming the code from High-Level Language to Machine Level Language is called "Compilation".

Onthe other hand, machine language is dependent on processor and processor understands zeroes and ones (binary) only. All C program execution is based on a processor which is available in the CPU; that is why entire C source code needs to be converted to the binary system by the compiler.
