The C standard doesn’t care about embedded, but vendors of embedded systems usually provide standalone implementations with whatever amount of libraries they’re willing to provide.

C is a widely-used general-purpose high-level programming language mainly intended for system programming. On the other side, Embedded C is an extension to the C programming language that provides support for developing efficient programs for embedded devices. It is not a part of the C language.

Following are the comparison chart for traditional C language and Embedded C:

C Language	Embedded C Language
C is a widely-used general-purpose high-level programming language.	It is used for cross-development purposes
C is a high-level programming language. It maintains by the C standard committee. The C standard doesn’t care about embedded.	Embedded C is an extension to the C programming language that provides support for developing efficient programs for embedded devices.
C is independent of hardware and its underlying architecture.	Embedded C is dependent on the hardware architecture.
C is mainly used for developing desktop applications. Mainly intended for system programming.	Embedded C is used in embedded systems for microcontroller-based applications.
