how ICE engine suck its air

How does an engine “suck” in air? Like during the intake stroke it goes down which creates a low pressure area and the air rushes in. But how does all that work? How does the piston going down allow air to be pulled in? LOL please explain it as simple TY!

If it helps: The engine (or syringe – same concept) is not “sucking” air in. It’s more like air rushing into a newly created space.

Same thing in outer space: It’s not the vacuum of space sucking the air out of a space craft through a hole. It’s the air inside the spacecraft wanting to get out.
