Guess: I don't know yet but I think from the car key to the engine is a long rod that turns a part of the engine on
Method of research: online search
Researched answer: I found out that the car key turns in the ignition and starter relay. The starter relay is a tiny magnetic switch that collects and electric jolt from the battery when the key is turned. Then a small gear with teeth interlocks with the car's fly wheel. The spinning fly wheel turns the crank shaft which turns the engine on.
