The corpus spongiosum is the the cylinder of soft tissue that runs inferior to the corpus cavernosa. It extends from the bulb of the penis (or bulbo spongiosum) and at the distal end is continuous with the head of the penis. Through the center of the corpus spongiosum runs the urethra. While the corpus cavernosa become very solid, to form the support for the penis, the corpus corpus spongiosum remains relatively soft. This allows it to hold the urethra open so the semen can easily be released.
