Common names might not be as common as you think. Organisms can be known by several different common names, depending on when and where you are. Inversely, several different plants may be referred to with the same common name, depending on their similarities. Scientific names never change, and no two differing organisms have the same scientific name. This allows for a better understanding and grouping of organisms within the scientific community.
Zygomycetes are harmful to humans and other living things. Zygomycetes are fungi and an example of this is mold which is harmful when it gets into the lungs.
Yes, a field guide typically includes both common names and scientific names of species to help readers easily identify and learn about the organisms being described. Common names can vary regionally, so including scientific names provides a universal reference point for accurate identification.

A lot of protists have only been recently discovered or due to their small size are virtually unknown to most people. This causes many of them to lack common names. However, for those that do have common names you can usually find them by doing a google search. Also see the Wikipedia page on protists where many are shown with their common and scientific names.
Scientific names are very specific. The common names of many animals are just that, common. One common name may be the widely accepted name for multiple animals or plants. Common names for plants and animals also vary with region.
Exactly what they say. Common names can vary from place to place but the scientific name is the same the world over.
An organism's scientific name is recognized worldwide.
The two classes for Zygomycota are Zygomycetes (true zygomycetes) and Trichomycetes.
