It doesn't really help it at all. The sperm cell carries DNA from the male's body int the female's, so it can make a child. The shape doesn't help because it digs into the egg o it can fertilize it.

My only other *guess* would be that the shape is thin and long, so it can travel around easier.

The nucleus is the head of the sperm cell, it is used to penetrate the egg, while the thin tail helps move the sperm up the uterus. Sperms are microscopic. The sperm is smaller than the human egg. The human egg is the biggest cell of the human body.

The shape of a sperm cell is similar to that of a tadpole. The flagellum (tail) undulates back and forth causing propulsion of the cell -- a process called flagellate locomotion. Sperm cells need to be able to travel in order to join the ovum in fertilization. In this way, the structure of the tail that provides locomotion fits it's function.

Having a large head helps sperm on contact with the egg, the tail helps the sperm leverage it's way in through the egg's protective membrane.
