Life exists in many forms. Plants range from grass to giant trees and animals from tiny worms to Elephants and Blue whales. Life may be represented in forms that can be both benign and malignant. It is this wide range that makes up biodiversity which can be defined as variation among living organisms. The term Biodiversity has become day to day word in recent past. The term was first coined by Walter G.Rossen in 1985. Earlier the word biological diversity was used. Thus biodiversity is the abbreviated word for biological diversity.
