Solution

Scientists classify organisms and assign each one a universally accepted name. Scientists classify because it is an organised way to communicate about the same organism all over the world. A classification system was developed because scientists once communicated about organisms by using common names.
scientific names follow a set of rules. Scientists use a two-name system called binomial naming system. Scientists use this rule to name the plants and animals that describes the genus and species of the organism.
