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!

Take a syringe, put it against your finger and pull the plunger. Do you feel that pressure? It’s exactly like that.

Engineering terms PV=nRT, as V goes up P goes down and air moves from higher P to lower P.
