Answer:
Karl von Linné—a Swedish botanist better known as Carolus Linnaeus—solved the problem. In 1758, Linnaeus proposed a system for classifying organisms. He published it in his book, Systema Naturae. In this system, each species is assigned a two-part name; for this reason, the system is known as binomial nomenclature.

Binomial nomenclature was first introduced by Carolus Linnaeus.
Explanation:
- The formal introduction of this system of naming species is credited to Carl Linnaeus, effectively beginning with his work Species Plantarum in 1753.
- Binomial nomenclature is the system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts.
- The first part of the name is the generic name, a second part of the name is the species name.
- Species' names formulated by the convention of binomial nomenclature are popularly known as the "Latin name" of the species, although this terminology is frowned upon by biologists and philologists, who prefer the phrase scientific name. The binomial classification system is used for all known species, extant (living) or extinct.
- The species is the lowest taxonomic rank of organism in the binomial classification system.
