Why do taxonomists follow an international set of rules when identifying and
classifying plants? What would be the possible consequences of not following
these rules?
What will be an ideal response?
Taxonomists follow an international set of rules, or the International Code of Botanical
Nomenclature, when identifying and classifying plants to ensure that every different
species has a different binomial name and that the scientific name assigned to that plant is
the oldest binomial name ever used for that plant. Without these rules, plants would likely
have more than one name and it would be difficult to discuss plants without confusion,
especially between different countries.
