Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The scrotum hangs outside the body because it needs to maintain a slightly lower temperature than the rest of the body. This lower temperature helps to maintain sperm production. Scrotal tissues help protect the structures inside the testicles, where sperm and important hormones are produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. The temperature in human testis is 2-3 degrees C less than that of body providing a suitable environment for sperm production.
