A binary system is called a base-2 system because it uses only two digits, 0 and 1, to represent all possible values. In contrast to decimal (base-10), which uses ten digits (0-9), the binary system relies on the powers of two for its positional values. Each position in a binary number represents a power of 2, allowing for the representation of larger numbers through combinations of these two digits. This simplicity makes binary particularly suited for computer systems and digital electronics.
