Eli5 How does engaging the clutch pedal gradually avoid stalling a car?

I know when you stall your car is because the resistance torque is greater than the torque generated by the engine. But how does releasing pedal gradually help with the take off? Does doing this way increase the torque produced by the engine? What is the difference between letting go of the clutch instantly and gradually from a scientific perspective?

No, it reduces the resistance from the wheels. The clutch is two plates pressed together to transfer the torque, and by releasing slowly you are engaging them with less pressure for a time. This lets the plates slip, transferring some torque without it being enough to stall the engine.
