The scientific name for the humps on camels' backs does not refer to a specific term, as "hump" is a common name used to describe the fatty deposits found on the backs of camels. Camels are primarily classified into two species: the Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius), which has one hump, and the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), which has two humps. The humps serve as a reservoir of fat, which can be metabolized into water and energy when food is scarce.
