The earth hosts a vast variety of living organisms. According
to a survey, the number of species that are known and
described range between 1.7-1.8 million. This number refers
to the known biodiversity on the earth. Although the actual
biodiversity present on earth is far more than this number.
The term Biodiversity or Biological diversity means the
entire number and types of organisms present on the earth.
The living world includes all the living organisms, such as
microorganisms, plants, animals and humans.
Biodiversity is not limited to the existing life forms. As we
continue to explore new areas and even old ones, new
organisms are continuously being added. This huge
available variety cannot be studied and identified without
having a proper system of classification and nomenclature.
