Taiga is another word for the Boreal Forest Biome, which consists of coniferous trees and evergreens. So I suppose a coniferious forest would fall under the Boreal Forest Biome; which is also called the Taiga. So yes, a coniferous forest is the same as the Taiga.

∙ 11y agoThe taiga doesn't have as many plant and animal species as the tropical or the deciduous forest biomes. It does have millions of insects in the summertime. Birds migrate there every year to nest and feed. Taiga temperatures range in the summer gets as low as -7° C (20° F). The high in summer can be 21° C (70° F). The summers are mostly warm, rainy and humid. They are also very short with about 50 to 100 frost free days. The total precipitation in a year is 30 - 85 cm (12 - 33 in) . The forms the precipitation comes in are rain, snow and dew. Most of the precipitation in the taiga falls as rain in the summer.
In deciduous forests the average annual temperature in a deciduous forest is 50° F. The average rainfall is 30 to 60 inches a year. The deciduous forest has four distinct seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In the autumn the leaves change color. During the winter months the trees lose their leaves.
I hope you thought this was a good answer.
