The first part is the genus. The second part is the species.
Biological protocol has agreed on the use of the binomial system of nomenclature for the naming of species and this was done many years ago when latin was the commonly agreed language of scientific communication
Binomial Taxonomy. The first name is written with a capital letter to indicate the genus, and the species name is written after. This system was first proposed by Linnaeus - a Finn, I think. He changed his name to the Latin version (Linnaeus) to demonstrate how keen he was on his system, which used only latin names for international use.
genus and species
Yes, he made the naming system called binomial nomenclature, which is what we still use today. It consists of the organism's genus name (which is capitalized) and its species name (lowercase). Example: The scientific name for the house cat is Felis domesticus
It can be used to generalize species more easily. Classification was greatly simplified when the binomial nomenclature was introduced and popularized. The full system includes 9 sections. Genus and species (the two involved in binomial nomenclature) are only the two most specific sections.
Binomial nomenclature is the formal naming system for living things that all scientists use. It gives every species a two-part scientific nam

Because it is effective and sufficient for the needs.
Linnaeus used his observations to devise a naming system for organisms. hes naming system was called binomial nomenclature. using this system each organism is given a 2 part name. the first part of a scientific name is called genus and the second is called species.

Carolinus Linneas. Swedish and the father of taxonomy. Basically, we use his binomial system to this day.
It gives each different type of organism just one scientific name

The system of naming organisms is called binomial nomenclature. It consists of two names for every organism, in Latin. The first name is the genus, and the second name is the species. This system was developed by Carolus Linnaeus.
Carl Linnaeus is known as the father of modern taxonomy. Although a system of binomial naming had been in use for some time, it was unorganized. Linnaeus, through documented studies and publications, was able to normalize the naming system that is still in use today.
