Scientist still use the language to name plants or animals. The Roman language is used in many words in the English dictionary as well.
Linnaeus proposed Latin as the language of classification because Latin was a common language among scholars during his time and was not subject to change and misunderstandings like vernacular languages. Using Latin ensured that scientific names would be universally recognized and understood by scientists regardless of their native language.
Latin language is important because it is the foundation of many modern Romance languages such as Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. It has also heavily influenced scientific terminology and legal language. Additionally, Latin is often used in academia and remains the official language of the Roman Catholic Church.
Yes, Portuguese can be called a Latin based language.
Latin is an extremely important language because most of our English language comes from its cognates. For example, here are some Latin (with Latin meaning)/English cognates: madre (mom)/Mother padre/Father horto (garden)/horticulture ferox (ferocious)/ferocious pictor (painter)/picture etc., etc., etc.!

No, Latin does not have articles in its language structure.
All scientists recognize this language.
Latin. That is why scientists were suppose to know how to speak it.
They don't. The most common language is English, but almost any other language used by other people is used by scientists. Latin is used for some formal names and words because it is a dead language and won't change in meaning, but is not used as a language itself for communication.
Latin is the language spoken by the Romans, and has not changed at all since the days of the Roman Empire. It was the Romans who introduced Latin to the rest of the world, and over the Centuries, Latin words and phrases have become incorporated into most European languages, either in their original form or as corrupted versions. You will find versions of Latin words in English, French, Spanish, Welsh, German, and of course Italian (which is where the Romans were from in the first place!) Latin is spoken in the Roman Catholic Church, and is used for the correct scientific names of plants, animals, rocks and anatomical parts. The Latin language is thus the most important legacy left to us by the ancient Romans.
legato is how you would say legacy in Latin.
Latin is used for taxonomy because it is an 'international language'. Latin is used so that scientists can discuss their findings and refer to organisms in a way that can be understood by all scientists. Latin was used as opposed to another language because it is no longer spoken in any one country and is well known across the globe.
it easier for scientists from all the countries to understand
Any meaning in the Latin language. The name curium is derived from the name of the well known family of scientists - Curie.

He was a Swede, so he spoke Swedish. But like all scientists in those days, he published in Latin, the language (like English today) that scientists everywhere in the world could understand.
It is not just the Greek language that is important, but Latin in general because it is considered the mother of all language. All the languages were made from Latin and it's roots.
No, in Latin America Spanish is spoken, therefore they are called by their Spanish names. Latin is used by scientists to identify animals because the language is no longer evolving.
