Answer
Semen contains a very large number of sperms because out of the millions of sperms released into the vagina, only a few of them are able to reach up to the upper parts of the oviducts. Some die on the way and are absorbed. Only a few of them reach the ovum. Thus, to increase the chances of fertilisation, a very large number of sperms should be present in the semen.
