Wikipedia
starter motor
A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power. Starters can be electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic. The starter can also be another internal-combustion engine in the case, for instance, of very large engines, or diesel engines in agricultural or excavation applications.Internal combustion engines are feedback systems, which, once started, rely on the inertia from each cycle to initiate the next cycle. In a four-stroke engine, the third stroke releases energy from the fuel, powering the fourth (exhaust) stroke and also the first two (intake, compression) strokes of the next cycle, as well as powering the engine's external load. To start the first cycle at the beginning of any particular session, the first two strokes must be powered in some other way than from the engine itself. The starter motor is used for this purpose and it is not required once the engine starts running and its feedback loop becomes self-sustaining.

starter motor
A starter motor is an essential component of an internal combustion engine system responsible for initially turning over the engine to allow the combustion process to start. It operates by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, mainly via a high-torque direct current (DC) electric motor. Once the engine starts running, the starter motor is turned off. The system relies on a car battery for power supply. Without a functioning starter motor, a vehicle cannot start.
