**Soortname**: In biological classification, a soortname (often referred to as a species name) is part of the binomial nomenclature system established by Carl Linnaeus. It typically comprises two parts: the genus name (which is capitalized) and the specific epithet (which is lowercase). Together, they uniquely identify a species, for example, *Homo sapiens* (humans) or *Canis lupus* (wolves). The correct use of soortname is crucial for scientific communication and biodiversity studies.
