Carbon is the backbone, the mother-of-all, the big-papa of ALL organic molecules. Carbon is most certainly found in plants, in humans, in the dirt, in bacteria, everywhere you can imagine.
As far as free carbon goes, it is extremely rare, however. Most all of the carbon will be found utilized in molecules like sugars, lipids, DNA, RNA, proteins, cell walls, you name it it uses carbon. Carbon is such a friendly element to bind to you will hardly find it alone, except in cases like graphite (C60?) which is made entirely of carbon
