No, the endoplasmic reticulum does not propel sperm cells. Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism within cells. Sperm cells are propelled by flagella, which are long, whip-like structures that help them swim towards the egg for fertilization.
It's true a single sperm only has to travel a few inches, but sperm are only a thousandth of an inch themselves, so it's a long journey on their scale.
It propels the cell forward, allowing it to move.
the nucleus is where DNA is stored and the flagellum is another major part commonly linked to the sperm cell.
Mitochondria, which are present in the sperm's midpiece, are responsible for energy production through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. This energy is necessary for the sperm to swim and reach the egg for fertilization.
The mitochondria provide energy to the sperm's 'tail' (flagellum) so that it can move, and propel the sperm cell forward.
The axial filament (or 'tail') helps propel the sperm through the seminal fluid.

They use their legs to push themselves off the ground or the water to propel themselves.
Sperm use the chemical energy stored in their tail's mitochondria to power their movement, converting it into kinetic energy needed for swimming towards the egg. This process allows the sperm to propel themselves through the female reproductive tract in search of the egg for fertilization.

Flagellum
Not at night when they are asleep like human beingd
You have the anatomy backwards. Sperm enters the body in the vagina, then travels through the cervix to the uterus and (if they make it that far) to the oviduct (or fallopian tubes). So sperm would not travel FROM the oviduct TO the uterus because that would mean the sperm would need to start their journey at the wrong end of the anatomy. Sperm travel by means of a whip-like tail called a flagellum. Under a microscope, sperm cells look like little tadpoles wiggling their flagellum to propel themselves forward. So, basically, they swim in the seminal and vaginal fluids.
They use their tails to propel themselves backwards.
