A kangaroo's pouch is actually called a marsupium. Most (not all) marsupials have pouches, or marsupia.
The purpose of the marsupium, or pouch, is to shelter the joey until it is fully developed. Newborn joeys crawl into the mother's pouch where they latch onto a teat, which swells in their mouth, securing them in the pouch.
