Answer:
1.8 million
Explanation:
As per global estimates, about 8.7 million species live on the earth. However, only about 1.7 - 1.9 million species have been named and described by biologists.
So. if your question is how many species exists on the earth, the answer is 8.7 million but if it is about how many are named and described, then it is 1.8 million.
Statistics are something that needs to be constantly updated, but as far as exams are considered, it's best to follow N.C.E.R.T.
Hope it helps. :)
