The diaphragm is a muscle which helps control the breathing process. When the diaphragm contracts it pulls down on the lungs (it is connected by the plueral membrane and connective tissue.) this creates space for the air to be forced into the lungs . This is because there is greater pressure inside the lungs than outside the lungs, resulting in air rushing into the lungs, and vice versa when the diaphragm relaxes.
