It is like pushing toothpaste out of a tube or if you’ve played with Play-doh, you squeeze it through a star or cross or round hole to make a long “noodle”.

Industrially, extrusions are used to make long objects with constant cross sections. Things like pipes and bars etc are usually extruded. And yes, extrusion is used to make long pasta strands and noodles too.
