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!

The same way you suck air into your body. Breath in your chest gets bigger, your chest expands, this means that you have the same mass of air filling a larger volume. That reduces the pressure and the air outside will flow in to make it the same.
