I am preparing for the NEET exam and I need to know the scientific name of mango. Can someone please provide it and explain its importance?

The scientific name of mango is Mangifera indica. This name is derived from the genus Mangifera and the species indica. In biological classification, the genus name comes first and is capitalized, while the species name follows and is not capitalized. Knowing the scientific names of plants and animals is crucial for NEET as it helps in precisely identifying and classifying organisms, avoiding any common name ambiguities.
