Detailed explanation-2: -Linnaeus’s most lasting achievement was the creation of binomial nomenclature, the system of formally classifying and naming organisms according to their genus and species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Linnaeus came up with the binomial system of nomenclature, in which each species is identified by a generic name (genus) and a specific name (species).
