All of the fluid in semen is what keeps the sperm alive, in total the sperm itself only makes up about 10% of the fluid .
Basically the fluid provides transport, nutrients and chemicals to keep the sperm alive until it reaches the cervix and fertilizes the egg. It will die eventually tho; inside a woman it can live for up to 5 days but outside only a matter of minutes or hours.
If you want to get into the science of it then:
The seminal fluid contains:
- prostoglandins, an acid which decreases the thickness of vaginal fluid so the sperm can travel more easily.
- the sugar "fructose" which provides the energy for them to move.
- a coagulation enzyme so the individual sperm cells can stick to the vaginal walls before they build up the energy to travel to the cervix.
- the hormone "relaxin" which enhances sperm mobility.
Hope that's what you're after.
