1. Scientific Names of Plants and Animals
Each and every recognized species on earth has been given its own scientific names. Scientists
have given these scientific names to study these species in a proper way and to avoid any types
of confusion. These scientific names are the combination of two terms, the genus names and
the species name. The first parts of these names are in capital letters and the second parts of
these names are in small letter. The process of these assigning scientific names to animals and
plants are called ‘taxonomy.’ This process is developed by a Swedish scientist ‘Carolus
Linnaeus’.
