Hint: Nomenclature is simply the naming of an organism. There are millions of species on earth that can easily understand by botanical nomenclature. That’s why ICBN is also known as a universal language. To avoid confusion among the organism ICBN gives the code word names as botanical nomenclature

Complete answer:
The full form of ICBN is an international code of botanical nomenclature. In this nomenclature system, each species name is composed of two parts; the first one is the genus while the second one is species.

ICBN is also used for algae, fungi, and bacteria. To overcome the problems of common names, scientists suggested in such a way that it is accepted in the world or internationally. Codes play such an important role in the nomenclature of different species of plants and animals. Genus consists of a large number of the organism, whereas species consists of a fewer number of the organism. An example is animals like zebras, horses, and donkeys belong to the same genus but belong to different species.
