A rocket, simply put, is just a flying device utilizing the action-reaction force.
Water rocket distinguishes itself from solid rocket by using water as the propellent instead of hot air. {Before launching, the fuel chamber is filled with water and air. The water is at the lower part, blocked by a nozzle opening while }air at the upper part is pressurized. As air with high pressure tends to expand towards spaces with lower pressure, once the nozzle is opened, the pressurized air will flow towards the nozzle. Such expansion pushes the water out of the chamber and creates a propelling force, which grants speed to the rocket.
I added one and a half sentence to explain the chamber structure. Cause the original article is unclear about the position of all these air, water, and nozzle.
