What Wikipedia says

A genital tubercle, phallic tubercle, clitorophallic structure, or simply a phallus is a body of tissue present in the development of the reproductive system of amniotes. It forms in the ventral, caudal region of mammalian embryos of both sexes, and eventually develops into a primordial phallus.
