[Andrey01]

Can i define what a biome sites in some coordinates?

Yes, in the next stable release MT 5.0.0, see https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L5985

It seems no. For example, a player is being on some coordinates and a program needs to find out on these coords, where the player is being currently, what a biome is. Is there any function that do it?

Are you talking about minetest.get_biome_data? (https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L3779) This will return a table of the biome ID, temperature, and humidity at the position given. It is only for MT 5.0.

I may misunderstand the question, which is not clearly stated, it could mean 2 things.

Noise generation is a non-equivalent transformation from multiple inputs to one output value, thus converting a biome (humidity, heat) noise value back to a position is not possible.
However, a workaround could be added. It's a new mod which creates a rough map of biomes say, (200m)^3 chunks when they generate in the world. Afterwards you could iterate through all records in that map to check whether your biome matches with any of these values. It will be very imprecise and slow. But it works, if you really want that.
