The piston is what is what is pushed down to create power to the engine . the fuel comes in thru the fuel injectors or carburretor, then is pulled into the combustion chamber, the spark plug ignites the fuel/air mixture causing an explosion inside the cylinder, pushing the piston down making power. go to autozone.com look up piston and you can see a picture.
There are also 'pistons ' in every brake cylinder, one at each wheel of the car. The brake fluid exerts pressure on these pistons to push against pads or shoes in order to stop the car.

How do you push the front caliper piston back after changing brakes on vectra?
Use a "C" clamp to collapse the caliper piston. Use one of the old pads across the face of the piston. If you use the clamp on the bottom of the piston it is possible to crack the piston. Using the old pad spreads the pressure to both sides of the piston. That is if the piston is a cup. If it is solid on the face then it screws in, but I believe this type is only used on the rear brakes of cars.
