The piston is inside an engine, under the valve cover, under cylinder head. it is the piece that transfers the explosive energy into rotating motion along with the connecting rods and the crank shaft. It all however has to go through the whole drive train to get to the wheels: the the transmission,the drive shaft, the differential, and so forth.

There is also a piston inside a typical brake caliper, sometimes more than one.

What is difference between piston rod and connecting rod?

A piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft in an engine, transmitting the force from the expanding gas to the crankshaft to generate motion. A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion to drive the crankshaft. In summary, the piston rod is part of the piston assembly, while the connecting rod is part of the crankshaft assembly in an engine.
