what is the percent of species that have been discorvered

Answer 1

Estimates suggest that about 80% of the world's species remain undiscovered or undescribed. This implies that roughly 20% of species have been formally described by scientists. However, these figures can vary greatly depending on the specific group of organisms being considered (e.g., plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms) and geographical regions. The total number of species on Earth is estimated to be between 5 million to 30 million, though some estimates even go higher. Advances in technology and research methodologies continue to uncover new species and enhance our understanding of biodiversity.
