The prostate gland adds seminal fluid to sperm
The fluid that protects sperm from acidity in the urethra is called seminal fluid or semen. It is primarily produced by the seminal vesicles and contains buffers that help neutralize the acidic environment of the urethra, making it more hospitable for sperm.

Seminal fluid.
Sperm is produced in the testicles. Upon ejaculation, it is mixed with a clear fluid, which protects the sperm from being destroyed by the slightly-acidic lining of the vagina, and also provides nutrition for the sperm for their journey to the egg. The combined mixture is called semen.
The prostate gland produces some of the seminal fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. Additionally, the Cowper's (bulbourethral) glands release a fluid that helps activate sperm and lubricates the urethra before ejaculation.
Semen.
yes
It is called seminal fluid, or just semen. There are a few different secretions that are contained in it to help activate the sperm and provide them with energy.
Seminal fluid being alkaline helps to neutralize the acidic environment of the vagina, which could otherwise be harmful to sperm. This alkalinity supports the survival and motility of sperm, increasing the chances of successful fertilization.
