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!

At the same time the piston goes down, the intake valve opens, allowing air into the cylinder. The opening and closing of the valves are controlled by the camshaft, which is synchronized to the rest of the engine by a belt or chain.
