How does Newton's third law of motion explain why a balloon rocket takes off?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of a balloon rocket, when the balloon is inflated and the air is released, it creates a force pushing the air out of the balloon in one direction. According to Newton's third law, an equal and opposite force is exerted on the balloon in the opposite direction, causing it to move forward and propel the balloon rocket forward.
