The liquid that contains sperm is called semen.
Semen is the fluid released from the male reproductive tract. Its primary function is to carry sperm cells, which are essential for fertilizing a female's egg. Beyond sperm, semen is composed of various liquids that combine to form seminal plasma. This plasma is vital for maintaining the viability of the sperm, ensuring they can survive and function effectively in their journey to fertilize the egg.
In essence, while "sperm" refers specifically to the reproductive cells themselves, "semen" is the complete fluid mixture that carries and supports those cells.
