Scientists sort things into categories, they have different ways of doing so. With biomes, scientists have different ways of categorizing them. As a result, you may see different numbers of biomes given and even different names. To make it even more confusing, biomes are often given local names.

Why do particular biomes difernt names?

Biomes are named based on the predominant vegetation type, climate, and geographical location. These characteristics influence the type of flora and fauna that thrive in a particular area, giving rise to distinct biome names to differentiate them from one another. This naming helps scientists and researchers better understand and classify the Earth's diverse ecosystems.

Why are scientific names used to describe organisms rather than common names?

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.


What are two problems with common names?

Because the same common names are used to describe different plants... which may be similar to each other or wildly different. The scientific names of plants are specifically designed to identify a particular species clearly and unambiguously.
