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!

Fun experiment you can do at home! Take a 2L soda bottle and cut the bottom off and take the cap off. Put the bottle in a bucket of water until it the water almost reaches the top. As you pull the bottle out of the water air will be sucked into the bottle through the cap. The water is basically the piston but in this case the bottle moves and not the water.
