Carlos Linnaeus was a confident young man fascinated by the diversity of plants. He initially classified plants based on reproductive organs but faced criticism for inaccuracies. Undeterred, he refined his system using other physical traits. As a botany professor, he struggled with long plant names and simplified them into two Latin words, creating a universal language for species classification, a system still in use today.
