It is not.

To expound a little, it isn't superior. Bass cleff is used so lower pitched instruments can more easily read the music. For instance, the Bass Guitar music was written in treble cleff, almost every note would have multiple ledger lines and be difficult to read.

While sheet music would still work without them, the bass and treble clef visually separate the high notes from the low notes so the music is easier to read. Without them it would be difficult to find which key to hit when looking at notes around middle c due to the number of lines packed closely together. Also, the bass and treble clef have a tendency to separate the melody of a song from its accompaniment.

Cello is a bass instrument, and therefore has the bass clef. And, if you wanted to play in treble clef, you would have to go a lot higher, whereas bass clef is a lot easier because it allows you to stay on the lower, more simple areas. I hope this isn't a babble!

Most instruments play in a range that is high or low enough for one clef or the other. Then with keyboard instruments that read both, it's because in treble middle C is one line below the staff, and in bass it's one line above the staff, so it's an even split between the two.

The bass clef is used because the treble clef is higher notes, and the bass clef is lower notes. If you don't want to just use high notes, you need a bass clef. I hope this helps!

What clef does the play in?

The piano uses both the Treble clef (for higher pitches) and the Bass clef (for lower pitches). It plays in the key of C. Sometimes it is misinterpreted that the Treble clef is for the rigth hand and the Bass clef if for the left hand. This isn't true. Both hands can use the Treble clef or Bass clef, or even the right hand can use the Bass clef and the left hand can use the Treble clef.
