it's called the mustard. i assume because it looks like it a little. the orange is actually eggs.
Mustard -- Yellow substance in a cooked crab under the carapace. Has a strong taste and is part of the crab's digestive system.
another more thorough definition:
Contrary to popular belief, the "mustard" (or the "green gland" or "tomalley") is not fat, it's actually the crab's hepatopancreas, a main component of the crab's digestive system.
for the second question:
Eggs are carried under the abdomen until they hatch. The egg mass is bright orange at first and becomes darker as the embryos mature and consume the egg yolk.

It's the crabs digestive system and does not taste that great. By the way I am eating fresh King Crab Legs from Albertson's tonight. They are on sale for $7.99 a pound. Yummy!
