It contains the mitochandia which releases energy for the flagellum (tail) to move.
the mid peace of a sperm cell is the body

Middle piece is formed of mitochondiral spiral , nebenkern around the proximal part of axoneme. The mitochondria are the carriers of the oxidative enzymes and the enzymes which are responsible for oxidative phosphorylation. So the middle piece is the power house of a sperm
This is because the middle piece of the sperm doesn't work properly
They are in middle piece. They are arranged in spiral pattern

The mitochondria located in the midpiece of the sperm cell generate the ATP required for movement of the sperm's tail. The mitochondrial sheath in the midpiece provides the necessary energy for the flagellum to beat in a whip-like motion, propelling the sperm forward.
It is still possible to get pregnant if sperm comes into contact with the vaginal opening, as sperm can swim up into the uterus and fallopian tubes. It is important to use contraception to minimize the risk of unintended pregnancy.
The sperm is assisted with movement by the flagellum, a structure also found in some bacteria.The flagellum acts as a pair of "flippers" and helps the sperm swim up to fuse with the ovum.
