Answer:

binomial nomenclature

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial nomenclature as the name implies (binomial = two, nomenclature = naming) is a system of naming organisms that comprises of two unique Latin word names. The binomial nomenclature is a system of naming that was proposed by the man referred to as the FATHER OF TAXONOMY, CAROLUS LINNAEUS.

According to this system of naming organisms, the two names are the generic and specific epithet of the organism respectively. For example, in dog, which is Canis familiaris, Canis is the generic name while familiaris is the specific name.
