I think many of us are not sure what is being asked.
I think the main question is what are you trying to do? If you just need a website, you can either have one built using HTML or put on together with WordPress. HTML would be the safer option. If you haven't used WordPress before, you would need to learn how to secure it to prevent exploits from occurring.
cPanel is just a control panel for your web hosting account. Many customers never use it, or log in when they're initially setting up the account. After that, it's almost not needed.
How in the hell HTML can be safer options?
You need to know html code and CSS to make it available on all devices.
I was learn html and when I find out for WP and Joomla never look back.

I just bought hosting for my domain name it has been setup everything with cPanel.
The cPanel tutorials on websites or forums are mentioning more to Wordpress. I suspect I don't need Wordpress, in this case what can I use cPanel for?
With cPanel You can:
create, delete, move, copy etc. directories/files
Create database
check disk space
Backup
Manage domain
create email accounts Ftp accounts
And ......
As others says cPanel is well "control panel" for your domain / hosting
And of course cPanel can install php sites like WordPress, joomla mangeto prestashop etc.
If you have lot info's and tutorials about wordpress that means that your hosting provider (or his staff) have good knowledge about WP. Or aim that kind of marketing and users.
