Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: To turn the engine and cause it to ignite..
The starter is a small electric motor powered by the battery. It turns the engine over until the engine ignites and keeps running on its own, and then it stops working. Connecting the engine to the wheels or disconnecting it is the job of the clutch and gearbox, not the starter. Controlling the engine's operation is not its job either.
