Explanation

A scrotal sac, often just called a scrotum, is a part of a male's reproductive system. It's a pouch of skin that hangs outside the body, behind the penis. This sac holds and protects the testicles, which are the organs that produce sperm. The scrotum's position outside the body helps keep the testicles at the right temperature, which is important for sperm production.
