The second component is the specific epithet, which describes the particular species' distinctive characteristics within that genus.
Humans, for instance, are known by the scientific designation Homo sapiens. The specific epithet "sapiens" separates our species from other species in the Homo genus, which also contains other extinct and living human-like species. "Homo" is the name of the genus that includes other human-like species.

Phylogenetic tree
A phylogenetic tree is a branching diagram or "tree" that shows how various species or groups of animals have evolved over time.
Phylogenetic trees can be used to analyze patterns in biodiversity and the mechanisms guiding the emergence of novel species, as well as to understand the evolutionary history of new species on Earth.

Biodiversity
Importance
vital for the health of ecosystems and the services they provide, including soil fertility, pollination, air and water purification, and climate regulation
Providing us with food, medication, and other resources is crucial for human well-being.
Definition
Biodiversity is the term used to describe the diversity of life on Earth, including the range of species, genes, and ecosystems.
Levels
The diversity of species found in a given area or habitat is referred to as species diversity. Both the number of species and their geographic distribution are covered.
Genetic diversity is the range of genetic information that each species possesses. It takes into account variations in genes, alleles, and DNA sequences.
The term "ecosystem diversity" describes the range of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems that exist on Earth. The variety of habitats, biotic communities, and ecological processes are all included.
