This is like saying before you can be a writer, you need to understand latin and the history of language.

Before you can be a writer, you need to sharpen your own pencil.

You should if you want to be a science writer or academic, which lets be honest is a better comparison here. If your job involves latin for names and descriptions then you probably should take at least a year or two of latin if you don't want to make mistakes here and there out of ignorance.
