K is used to represent Black in CMYK because B is already used for Blue in RGB.
CMYK stands for- C= Cyan, M=Magenta, Y=Yellow, K=Black
The K in CMYK can can stand for either blacK or Key colour.The "K" in CMYK stands for key since in four-color printing cyan, magenta, and yellow printing plates are carefully keyed or aligned with the key of the black.Suggesting that the "K" in CMYK comes from the last letter in "black" and was chosen because B already means is incorrect.Courtesy of Wikipedia;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model
CMYK are process colors of printing. Cyan Magenta Yellow Key/Black The K actually stands for the Key plate. When plates were used for printing, the black plate was also known as the key plate, which held all the artistic detail and information.

The CMYK acronym stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key: those are the colors used in the printing process.
The "K" in CMYK stands for "key," specifically referring to the color black in the color model used for printing. The combination of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black is used to create a wide range of colors in printed materials.
I presume you mean in the CMYK colour model. There are two reasons, partly to avoid confusion with the B for blue, but mainly the K doesn't stand for "black", it stands for "key" - in printing the cyan, magenta and yellow had to be aligned (or keyed) with the black.

CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (yes, K stands for black). To print documents in color, at least these four inks are needed. However, most Epson printers, and other professional color machines use more than just these four colors.

monitors are working with light, thus you use the additive RGB primaries.printers are working with dyes, thus you use the subtractive CMY primaries and black K.
