The scientific study of insects is called entomology. It is a branch of zoology that focuses specifically on the classification, behavior, ecology, and physiology of insects. Entomologists study various aspects of insect life, including their interactions with ecosystems, their roles as pollinators, pests, and disease vectors, and their evolutionary adaptations. Insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth, making entomology an essential field for understanding biodiversity and ecological balance. This knowledge is also crucial in agriculture, environmental conservation, and public health, as insects significantly impact human life and the environment.
