Answer: Because of its ability to form many different bonds.
Explanation: Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules. This property is called the catenation.
