What is the term for the naming of plants?

  1. Nitrogen

  2. Nomenclature

  3. Sand

  4. Water Holding Capacity

The correct answer is: Nomenclature

Nomenclature is the term for the naming of plants.

Option A, Nitrogen, is a crucial nutrient for plant growth but it is not the term used for naming plants. Option C, Sand, is a type of soil and is not related to the naming of plants. Option D, Water Holding Capacity, is a measure of a soil's ability to hold water and is also not related to the naming of plants.
