The combustion chamber is the area inside the engine where the fuel/air mixture is compressed and then ignited. It is generally formed on one side by the shape cast into the cylinder head, and on the other side by the top of the piston. When the piston is at top-dead-center the chamber is at its smallest dimension, and this is the time when the fuel/air mixture is at its most unstable condition and ready to be ignited. The better the combustion chamber is designed the better the engine "breathes;" that is, the more efficient the overall flow of air through the engine.

A combustion chamber in an engine is an opening where you have a cylinder head and two valves and spark plug generally. The fuel is sucked  from one valve cavity and the air is sucked from the other, and because of the compression from the cylinder head, the fuel and air gets ignited by the help of the spark plug. Hence the combustion cycle happens in a combustion chamber.
