Unix was rewritten in the C programming language and not in assembly language. The migration from assembly language to the higher-level language C resulted in much more portable software, requiring only a relatively small amount of machine-dependent code to be replaced when porting Unix to other computing platforms.

Unix manages the hardware and the executing processes by the kernel. The kernel is a collection of programs written in C which directly communicate with the hardware. applications communicate to system using kernal. Hence kernal need to be changed for different hardware but user interface remains same.

UNIX is portable because you can customize or configure it the way you want it and how you will use it.
