They’re usually named by their Latin names and their genus or class

Species are named scientifically using the method termed as the "Binomial Naming System".

EXPLANATION:

  • Scientists follow a "set of rules to name plants and animals" and they are known as the "binomial naming system".
  • "Binomial" means "made up of two words" and it describes the genus and the species of the organism.
  • The "first word" is the "genus", which is capitalized and the "second word" is the "species" which is not capitalized.
  • Genus is the "name of small groups" of "closely interacted organisms" and species is used to identify the particular species in that same genus.
  • For example, the "scientific name" for humans is "Homo sapiens", where Homo is the genus which is capitalized and sapiens is the species.
  • The abbreviation for this group is H. sapiens.
