  a system of nomenclature in which each species of animal or plant receives a name of two terms of which the first identifies the genus to which it belongs and the second the species itself
Binomial nomenclature is the formal naming system for living things that all scientists use. It gives every species a two-part scientific name. For example, a ladybug found in the United States goes by the fancy name of Harmonia axyridis. The first part of a scientific name, like Harmonia, is called the genus.

It is the system of naming organisms which was given by Carolus Linnaeus in which this naming consists of two words. These two words represents the genus and the species respectively. Such a system of naming consisting 2 words is termed as binomial nomenclature.

Example :

For human beings, the binomial nomenclature that is given is Homo sapiens.

Here, Homo is the genus and sapiens is the species to which humans belongs to.
