Latin is used for taxonomy because it is an 'international language'. Latin is used so that scientists can discuss their findings and refer to organisms in a way that can be understood by all scientists. Latin was used as opposed to another language because it is no longer spoken in any one country and is well known across the globe.

Latin is the language of scientific names?
The naming and classification of organisms was done using Latin, as were many astronomical terms, because Latin was the language of science when biological taxonomy and basic scientific astronomy were being developed. Many scientific names in chemistry and physics were based on German, because Germany was a center of scientific advancement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when those sciences were being developed rapidly and needed new names for newly recognized phenomena. Scientific names in more recently developed fields, like computers, nuclear and quantum physics, modern astronomy, materials science, and molecular biology are based on the English language because English was spoken at many scientific centers and had become an international language of science following World War 2 and has retained that status to the present time.
