Answer :
Well, in binomial nomenclature, it's Latin so everyone can use them, wherever they are from. If an English biologist says "tiger" in their language, a Spanish biologist may not understand. However, if they say "Panthera tigris," the Spanish biologist will be able to understand because of the shared language of Latin. I hope this helped!
As you might be able to appreciate, it
would be difficult for people speaking or
writing in different languages to know when
they are talking about the same organism.
This problem was resolved by agreeing upon
a ‘scientific’ name for organisms in the same
manner that chemical symbols and formulae
for various substances are used the world
over. The scientific name for an organism is
thus unique and can be used to identify it
anywhere in the world.
The system of scientific naming or
nomenclature we use today was introduced
by Carolus Linnaeus in the eighteenth
century. The scientific name of an organism
is the result of the process of classification
which puts it along with the organisms it is
most related to. But when we actually name
the species, we do not list out the whole
hierarchy of groups it belongs to. Instead, we
limit ourselves to writing the name of the
genus and species of that particular
organism. The world over, it has been agreed
that both these names will be used in Latin
forms.
Certain conventions are followed while writing the scientific names:
1. The name of the genus begins with a capital letter.
2. The name of the species begins with a small letter.
3. When printed, the scientific name is given in italics.
4. When written by hand, the genus name and the species name have to be underlined separately.
The binomial nomenclature makes for a uniform way of identification of the vast diversity of life around us.
All the Best. :D
