Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm production in the testes takes place in coiled structures called seminiferous tubules. Along the top of each testicle is the epididymis. This is a cordlike structure where the sperm mature and are stored.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cauda epididymis can store enough sperm for two to three normal semen samples. This is substantially less sperm than is stored in the cauda of many other species.

Detailed explanation-3: -The epididymis is a narrow, tightly-coiled tube connecting rear of the testicles to the deferent duct (ductus deferens or vas deferens). The epididymis consists of three parts: head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis is located on superior pole of testis. It stores sperm for maturation.
