The clitoris is a sexual organ that is present only in female mammals. In humans, the visible button-like portion is located near the anterior junction of the labia minora, above the opening of the urethra and vagina. Unlike the penis, which is homologous to the clitoris, the clitoris does not contain the distal portion of the urethra, and functions solely to induce sexual pleasure. The only known exception to this is in the Spotted Hyena. In this species, the urogenital system is unique in that the female urinates, mates and gives birth via an enlarged, erectile clitoris, known as a pseudo-penis

Can you see a erect clitoris?

The clitoris is a highly sensitive organ located at the top of the vulva, and its size and visibility can vary among individuals. When sexually aroused, the clitoris can become engorged and erect, similar to a penis, due to increased blood flow. While the clitoris may become more prominent and easier to see during arousal, its full structure, including internal and external components, may not always be visible externally.
