Detailed explanation-1: -In 1753, a Swedish biologist named Carl Linnaeus (also known as Carl von Linné) proposed a universal system for classifying and naming animals and plants. Scientists still use this Linnean system to classify living things.
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). His 1753 publication, Species Plantarum, which described the new classification system, marked the initial use of the nomenclature for all flowering plants and ferns.
