    The binomial system provides a standardized scientific naming convention for organisms. It assigns every species a name with two parts, the genus and species name, which provides a universal Latin name. This is important because common names can vary regionally and be non-specific or misleading, whereas scientific names unambiguously classify each organism. The document outlines the key components of binomial nomenclature including why it is needed instead of common names alone and the basic rules for writing scientific names.

     Name available only for relatively few animals and
    plants.
     Not universal
     Non-specific and often misleading. “Ring worm” is
    not a worm, it’s a fungus and “Jelly fish” is not a fish.
