Answer:
There
is a need to standardize the naming of living organisms such that a particular organism
is known by the same name all over the world. Botanists have solved this problem
by setting International Code for Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN).
Scientific naming ensures that each organism has only one name in any
part of the world.
ICBN ensures that such name has not been used for any
other organism.
Each name has two components the generic name and the
specific epithet. This system of naming is called bionomial nomenclature given
by Carolus Linnaeus, e.g., mango has the scientific name Mangifera indica and
potato is known as Solanum tuberosum.
