Because it is a point that is used in the decimal system of counting. Decimal means based on ten.
The same as real numbers are expressed in decimal, except only the digits 0 and 1 are used (instead of 0 to 9) and the separator between the integer and fraction part is called the binary point (instead of the decimal point). The sign if needed is the same as in decimal.
The decimal point is used to show that the number is not whole. Numbers after the decimal point show fractions of the number so there is more accuracy.
No, a comma is not used as a decimal point in British pounds. It is used that way in France, Spain, and some other countries, however.

The word used to signify a decimal point in a number is "point". For example, 3.14 written out would be three point one four.
76.349 (French writing 76,349) is "soixante seize virgule trois cent quarante neuf". The 'virgule' is used to separates the decimal in the same way the point does in English.
Step 1. Divide it by 100 Step 2. Write it down. 17% = 0.17
"Floating Point" refers to the decimal point. Since there can be any number of digits before and after the decimal, the point "floats". The floating point unit performs arithmetic operations on decimal numbers.
