Nomenclature is the system of naming organisms in a standardized way to avoid confusion. The binomial nomenclature system, developed by Carl Linnaeus, assigns each organism a two-part Latin name consisting of the genus and species (e.g., Homo sapiens). This system ensures that each organism has a unique and universally accepted name. Scientific names follow specific rules, such as capitalization of the genus name and italicization or underlining of the full name. Standardized nomenclature is crucial for accurate communication in biological research, conservation, and medicine.
