Detailed explanation-2: -The naming system known as binomial nomenclature is important because it allows scientists to classify and categorize organisms based on recognized characteristics. It not only allows scientists to have a universal way to identify organisms, but it allows them to track and count the current numbers of specific species.

Detailed explanation-3: -The scientific name of a species that is set by binomial nomenclature entails two parts: (1) generic name (or genus name) and (2) specific name (or specific epithet). In this regard, the scientific name is also referred to as the binomial name (or simply, binomial or binomen).

Detailed explanation-4: -While each plant may have multiple common names, it should only have one binomial name. This prevents confusion that is often introduced by using common names. Binomial nomenclature uses Latin or Latinized adjectives or descriptive words to categorize plants.
