Why is Carolus Linnaeus called the grandfather of taxonomy?

Correct answer: Because he provided the scientific and practical binomial nomenclature

Answer: A. Carolus Linnaeus made a lasting contribution by developing and popularising a practical system of classification and the binomial method of naming organisms. In this method, each species is given a two-part scientific name consisting of a genus and a specific epithet. He also established conventions that made names more uniform and useful for communication among scientists. He was not called this because he was old, so B is irrelevant. The term biology was not the reason for his title, so C is wrong. He did not invent the microscope, so D is wrong. His work became a major foundation of modern taxonomy, although present-day classifications also use evolutionary, anatomical, cellular, molecular, and other evidence. Memory cue: Linnaeus is remembered chiefly for practical classification and binomial naming.
